Synopsis

For first year Introductory Sociology courses at colleges and universities.

 

"Where learning and the Sociological Imagination meet"

Henslin's Canadian edition has strong personal appeal to students and professors, capturing as it does the authors' passion for the discipline. The 'Down-to-Earth' approach shows the connection between the individual and society by using sociological perspectives to examine everyday life, and is enlivened by many vignettes and stories told in a style that creates interest and even inspiration. Henslin is widely adopted in Canada because it is well-balanced, matching an acceptable depth of content in a reasonable length; it marries an enjoyable writing style with intellectual rigour; and it manages an even-handed and particularly clear presentation of the four key theoretical perspectives.

Each edition has been more successful than the last, and this new 4th edition is better than ever. Opportunities for students to develop a "sociological imagination" abound, not only by reading the textbook but also by using the new MySocLab online supplement, an exciting new learning environment for Sociology students.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Studying Sociology is all about taking part in an intellectual adventure that leads to new ways of seeing, thinking about, and understanding yourself, your society and how the world around you works. Reading this beautifully written book containing personal experiences and reflections, interesting stories of real people, humour, and illuminating examples, you can expect to become engaged with the subject and develop an awareness - “the sociological imagination” - that could change and enrich your life.

 

Getting actively involved in learning is the key to every student’s success. Pearson Canada is proud to offer with this outstanding text MySocLab, an interactive online resource that is superior to any instructional tool yet created for Introductory Sociology (access kit enclosed with every new textbook).
