Summary
Featuring chapters contributed by leading Canadian sociologists, Sociology: A Canadian Perspective explores Canadian society and its place in the world. Sociology is aimed very specifically at full-year intro sociology courses, instructors who want a higher-level text to challenge and engage their students, and instructors who prefer the flexibility and choice (in terms of content and ancillary materials) that a big book brings. All aspects of the book have been thoroughly revised and updated for this second edition, which includes brand-new chapters on theory, mass media, and sexuality, as well as new references, inserts, learning materials, and photos.
