Publisher's Synopsis
A college-level introduction to sociology which offers unique expression to the scope and versatility of the sociological perspective. The author speaks to students in the language of their own interests and experiences, addressing such topics as television, football, sex, motion pictures, college sororities, humor, cartoons, and other nonmainstream problem areas. This fascinating anthology avoids the misplaced emphasis on sociological jargon and grandiose theories common in many sociology books.
