Exercise your sociological imagination and step into the world of Reel
Society2.0, an interactive movie on two CD-ROMs that brings key sociological
concepts to life. You become part of the story of several college students

for them. You see the consequences of your choices. Through it all, a wide
variety of issues and perspectives are shown for the purpose of relating
sociological thought to real life. The CDs also include chapter-specific
quizzes, homework assignments, and links to online activities. To learn more

"I am firmly convinced that sociology can play a valuable role in teaching
critical thinking skills. Sociology can help students to better
understand the workings of their own lives as well as of their society and other
cultures." -- Richard T. Schaefer
The Sixth Edition of Sociology: A Brief Introduction, like its
predecessors, reflects Rick Schaefer's mission to bring readers a comprehensive,
up-to-date text that teaches students how to think critically about society and
their own lives from a wide range of classical and contemporary perspectives.
Combining balanced coverage of theory with current research findings,
distinctive social policy sections, examples and issues of interest to students,
and abundant learning aids and exercises, Sociology is a text that will
help students to develop a sociological imagination and perspective.
Three basic premises guide this highly successful introductory text: first,
that theory and research must be both comprehensive and clear; second, that the
text must show how sociology is relevant both to the study of society and to
students' lives in particular; and third, that sociology can play a valuable
role in teaching critical thinking skills. To that end, this solid,
well-respected text combines a balanced three-perspective approach with
excellent student-oriented examples and distinctive social policy sections in a
concise presentation that offers an alternative to full-length books.
