Global sociology1997

Global Sociology brings a world perspective to students in introductory sociology. This supplementary text looks at five different societies - Mexico, Japan, Germany, Egypt, and the [actual symbol not reproducible] Bushmen of Southern Africa - in five similarly organized chapters. Each chapter mirrors the topics instructors cover most often in their introductory courses, making it an ideal way to expose students to a cross-cultural perspective. Global Sociology is designed to promote active learning, allowing students to apply concepts and compare cultures. Students are given the tools and information they need to put their sociological knowledge and skills to work and thus to gain a deeper understanding of their own society.
