Sociology, Unplugged

This concise, clear, accessible book is meant to truly engage students by using personal stories, solid research, and key theories that illustrate how sociologists look at life, the way we understand social dynamics, what "socially constructed" means, and how a sociological sensibility can, ultimately, be liberating.
