Sociology, Fifth Edition - Hardcover

Much of the excitement in writing an introductory sociology text lies in keeping abreast of a constantly changing field. Since the first edition of this book in 1975, Donald Light and Suzanne Keller have worked to include the best of modern sociology: a lively blend of important theories and new scientific research, interwoven with analysis of social topics of great current interest. For this fifth edition, our team has been expanded to include Craig Calhoun, and we have worked together on a top-to-bottom revision. As always, our goal has been to convey the excitement of sociological discovery and our love for the field. From the classical scholarship of Marx, Weber, and Durkheim to the latest research findings, we believe that sociology offers provocative insights into the contemporary world. Our goal is to encourage our readers to apply these insights to their own lives and to the major issues of their times.
