Description
"That the chapters begin with a case, discuss the case, and end with another case is a most useful structure-one that assists those of us unfamiliar with the process, yet also works for those familiar with cases." -- Sally Raskoff "Using this book will help students gain competency in several areas that are central to the learning goals and outcomes of general education at the baccalaurate level: problem solving, communication, analysis and critical thinking, and perspective. Nothing could be better for introductory sociology today than this innovative text." -- Dean Dorn
