This text provides the basics of sociology - perspective, theoretical orientations, methods and concepts - and emphasizes how sociology answers real-world questions, both personal and public. This edition discusses global issues in every chapter, and coverage of the impact of stratification (socioeconomic, racial/ethnic and gender) on both individuals and society has been expanded. Gender issues are discussed throughout the text, but there is also a chapter on gender stratification, which includes a section on men and masculinity. Issues relating to health care are interwoven throughout.
