A workbook for an introductory course in Sociology--a broad discipline in terms of both methodology and subject matter. Topics include social stratification (i.e. class relations), religion, secularization, modernity, culture and deviance, and approaches include both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. This is because, as much of what humans do fits under the category of social structure and agency, sociology has gradually expanded its focus to further subjects, such as medical, military and penal organizations, the internet, and even the role of social activity in the development of scientific knowledge. The range of social scientific methods has also been broadly expanded. The linguistic and cultural turns of the mid-20th century led to increasingly interpretative, hermeneutic, and "postmodern" approaches to the study of society. Conversely, the workbook applies new mathematically rigorous approaches, such as social network analysis.

"A 10-chapter book that gets to the core of Sociology." Concise coverage, balanced viewpoints, and an attractive full-colour design characterize this popular introductory sociology text. In just 10 brief chapters, Core Concepts in Sociology covers the key material required for a short introductory course and reflects the authors' careful consideration of the needs of Canadian classes. The innovative "In-Class Edition" format helps students actively engage with the learning process, by combining the text and study guide into one source, by including study tips right alongside the text, and by including a bound-in study card. In the second edition, the lively student-centred writing style has been maintained, with an increased depth to coverage of theory and methods, particularly feminism and qualitative research methods. Also, this new edition now includes MySocLab, the innovative resource centre for research and study aids. With these and other valuable features, Core Concepts in Sociology will be a strong asset to students.
