Contemporary American Society: Your Compass For a New World

This delightful text goes where other texts only dream of going. It draws connections between the student's self and their social world, as you might expect it to do. But more than that, it shows the student how sociological thinking takes place. Brym/Lie is current, fresh, innovative and takes sociology texts in a whole new direction. These experienced authors help you see how society opens up opportunities for you and constrains your freedom, thus helping make you waht you are and shapig what you can be. This edition covers: Sociology at the Movies; Social Policy: What Do You Think? You and the Social World; and An Outstanding Map Program
