For first year Introductory Sociology courses at colleges and universities.

Henslin's Canadian edition has strong personal appeal to students and professors, capturing as it does the authors' passion for the discipline. The 'Down-to-Earth' approach shows the connection between the individual and society by using sociological perspectives to examine everyday life, and is enlivened by many vignettes and stories told in a style that creates interest and even inspiration. Henslin is widely adopted in Canada because it is well-balanced, matching an acceptable depth of content in a reasonable length; it marries an enjoyable writing style with intellectual rigour; and it manages an even-handed and particularly clear presentation of the four key theoretical perspectives.

Each edition has been more successful than the last, and this new 4th edition is better than ever. Opportunities for students to develop a "sociological imagination" abound, not only by reading the textbook but also by using the new MySocLab online supplement, an exciting new learning environment for Sociology students.
