This is one in a series of short books devoted to different countries that offers much-needed cross-cultural and global material to instructors. Used alongside an introductory sociology text or as a supplement in courses on comparative societies, comparative politics, comparative economics, or social stratification, this book brings a rich global perspective into the undergraduate classroom. The opening chapter establishes historical and cultural context, while subsequent chapters focus on the basic institutions, social stratification, social problems and social change. The chapter organization is typical of a standard introductory sociology text making it easy to use in any class. In "Modern Germany", the authors seek to help create a deeper understanding of German society and culture for people outside of Germany. Throughout the book, frequent comparisons are utilized, showing the similarities and differences between Germany and other modern societies, particularly the United States.
