Lauer: Social Problems and the Quality of Life
Social Problems and the Quality of Life, 8/e
Robert H. Lauer, U.S. International University
Jeanette C. Lauer, U.S. International University

Feature Summary

  • Organized around the "quality of life" theme, giving the book a sense of continuity and keeping it grounded on the fact that human beings are the chief victims of social problems and the chief beneficiaries of their solutions.

  • Unbiased and objective analysis of social problems does not favor one theoretical perspective over another.

  • "What is to be Done" sections go beyond the mere analysis of a problem, and encourage students to seek solutions by suggesting ways for ameliorating each problem discussed.

  • Global Comparisons boxes add a new dimension to students' understanding of a social problem by seeing the causes and effects in other nations.

  • Pedagogy -- Learning Objectives, Focus Questions, Chapter Introductions, bold-faced terms, thematic Boxes, Chapter Summaries, Key Terms, Study Questions, For Further Reading, and Glossary.
