SOC+ 5th Edition by Robert Brym
Quick Navigation

Overview

The meticulously updated fifth edition of SOC+ paints a vivid picture of the sociological enterprise and of Canadian and global society by interweaving examples drawn from popular culture and social media with current social issues. Written by one of Canada's leading sociologists, this edition adds extensive Canadian content, including in-depth coverage of Indigenous Canadians. It highlights theoretical controversies and research challenges so students can see how sociology is done — and for what purpose. Connections between everyday life, local communities, and national and global issues are highlighted throughout this best-selling textbook.
