Seeing Sociology

Extremely reader friendly and practical, SEEING SOCIOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION, 3rd Edition illustrates the relevance of sociology to daily life through the use of images and photos.

Brief, self-contained modules in each chapter make it easy for readers to absorb and synthesize the subject matter, while experiential exercises enable users to put what they learn into practice.
