The eBook Essentials of Sociology 6th edition, written by the team of authors Richard P. Appelbaum, Deborah Carr, Mitchell Duneier, and Anthony Giddens, presents sociology students with the latest data, cutting-edge research, and up-to-the-minute examples to encourage them to think sociologically towards what they are observing on their screens and in the news. The authors move college students beyond their personal experiences by highlighting the macro-social forces that dominate their everyday lives; thus, cultivating their sociological imaginations. Innovative pedagogy promotes active reading and helps students master the core sociological concepts. Moreover, Norton has released a new adaptive learning tool, InQuizitive (sold separately), to further support this pedagogical program. An updated version of this book, the 7th edition, is now available for purchase. Please see related e-books below.
