Ten Questions: A Sociological Perspective

$93.95

A thoughtful new discussion provides an encouraging perspective on how individuals can affect others and society, in both positive and negative ways.

All glossary terms throughout the narrative now appear in bold type, making them easier to spot and facilitating students' review and retention of important concepts.

Other updates include a new discussion of the relationship between modernization and alienation (Chapter 7) and new insights on the concepts of social power and social movement, and their relationship to social change (Chapter 8).

A new discussion provides an encouraging perspective on how individuals--including you--can affect others and society, in both positive and negative ways.
