David M. Newman, Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, Brief Edition, Third Edition
In the brief, third edition of Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, author David Newman once again draws students in to the fascinating world of sociological thought. With his eminently readable style and lively personal anecdotes Newman encourages students to take a step back from the textbook and think about how sociology applies to their lives. Using vivid prose, current examples, and fresh data, this brief and concise text presents a well-organized and digestible overview of the social construction of society.
Janet M. Ruane and Karen A. Cerulo, Second Thoughts: Sociology Challenges Conventional Wisdom, Fifth Edition
Do birds of a feather flock together or do opposites attract? Does haste make waste or should you strike while the iron is hot? Adages like these—or conventional wisdoms—shape our social life. This Fifth Edition of Second Thoughts reviews several popular beliefs and notes how such adages cannot be taken at face value. This unique text encourages students to step back and sharpen their analytic focus with 24 essays that use social research to expose the gray areas of commonly held beliefs, revealing the complexity of social reality and sharpening students' sociological vision.
