Sociology: The Central Questions is a concise yet thorough treatment of sociology. Organized around a set of central questions, the text integrates classic and current research in sociology with analyses of trends affecting society. Written by the best-selling author of Sociology in a Changing World, Fourth Edition, William Kornblum's new text incorporates many of his most popular features (such as Mapping Social Change and Then and Now), while new features and the text's unique approach give Sociology: The Central Questions its decidedly own voice and perspective. Features: * Each chapter opens with a question about the subsequent material, serving as an organizational theme while stimulating the critical thinking process. * CD-ROM Multimedia Icons within the text indicate where more information about a particular topic is available on the Core-Concepts in Sociology CD-ROM. * Related Internet coverage is included at the end of each chapter, encouraging students to pursue additional sociological applications.
* Chapter outlines and summaries, along with boldfaced terms and suggested readings, serve as quick reference points and guidance for additional sources of information on key topics.
