Andersen/Taylor’s “Sociology: The Essentials” 11th Edition, analyzes how society changes and how social factors, both dramatic and subtle, influence change and influence your life. Throughout the book, we ask you to apply sociological concepts to analyze and interpret the world you live in, strengthening your critical thinking. The book’s focus on debunking common myths helps you look behind the facades of everyday life, encouraging you to question common assumptions and better understand how society is constructed and sustained. This thorough yet streamlined text provides exceptional coverage of diversity, including social factors such as age, religion, sexual orientation and region of residence in addition to race, ethnicity, class and gender. This text is also available with MindTap.
