Description

An exciting, concise introduction to the discipline, the new second edition of the popular Principles of Sociology assembles an impressive team of Canadian Sociologists to introduce students to the key concepts and theories of sociology. In addition to explaining the fundamental principles ofsociology, the text explores how those principles may be used to yield new and surprising insights into Canadian society and Canada's place in the world. This edition has been fully updated with new discussion of Religion, Gender and Sexuality, Race and Ethnicity, Mass Media, and Globalization, andcomes with access to engaging MP3 clips from CBC. The result is a unique and enlightened overview of sociology that is ideally suited to one-semester introductory courses.
