Sociology: The Core, 7/e

Michael Hughes, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University
Carolyn J. Kroehler

Overview

Highly respected for its quality scholarship and its focused, straightforward approach to Sociology, this text returns to the core concepts with a tighter, briefer, more accessible presentation and a very affordable price. Michael Hughes, of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, and Carolyn Kroehler, a professional writer, have revised the work of James Vander Zanden, who is now Emeritus Professor of the Ohio State University. As in the previous editions, the functionalist, conflict, and interactionist perspectives are applied throughout the book, allowing students to develop a solid understanding of the major sociological perspectives and their applications to the topics covered. Completely updated, Sociology: The Core makes sociology come alive as a vital and exciting field, relates principles to real-world circumstances, and attunes students to the dynamic processes of our rapidly changing contemporary society.
