Sociology In Our Times 12th Edition

Kendall’s bestselling SOCIOLOGY IN OUR TIMES, 12th edition, illustrates the relevance of sociology through timely theories, research and examples. Many chapters open with first-person accounts of “lived experiences” students can relate to, providing a framework for learning. The author’s engaging writing style, emphasis on applications and compelling examples further highlight sociology’s relevance to all students. The first to integrate race, class and gender issues, the text is known for its thorough presentation of sociological theory, including contemporary perspectives such as feminism and postmodernism. Emphasizing social/global change and the contemporary world, the new edition covers such current debates as bullying and social media abuse, digital-age methods to increase school attendance, food trucks and the spread of culture, modern slavery and weight bias.
