Sociology: OER

This text "is a realistic but motivating look at the many issues that are facing our society today."

This text "makes sociology relevant for today's students by balancing traditional coverage with a fresh approach that ironically takes them back to sociology's American roots in the use of sociological knowledge for social reform."

The book is supported by discussion of relevant theory and research in cultural sociology.
