Society 9e

For one semester/quarter introduction sociology courses. John Macionis, like many students, took a college course that shaped his life. For John, that course was his introductory sociology course. This course helped John make sense of the world around him. John infuses his textbooks with his enthusiasm, excitement, and passion for teaching. His main goal is to help students connect sociology to everyday life. Society: The Basics, 9/e strengthens this Macionis tradition of helping students to see sociology in everyday life! "Dear Dr. Macionis,I am currently a student at Columbus State, and my sociology professor is utilizing your book, Society: The Basics, in his lectures. I just wanted to let you know that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your book... I love the fact that you intertwine sociological concepts with real-life situations. It is fascinating to view different cultures through the eyes of a sociologist, and it is amazing how much can be learned when an objective outlook is maintained . Between your book and my professor, sociology has become a passion for me. Thank you for your contributions to the developing science. Keep up the good work, and please, write another book!" Sarah K.
