Synopsis
This Fourth Editionof George Ritzer's Introduction to Sociology shows students the relevance of sociology to their lives. While providing a rock-solid foundation, Ritzer illuminates traditional sociological concepts and theories, as well as some of the most compelling contemporary social phenomena: globalization, consumer culture, the digital world, and the "McDonaldization" of society. With examples on every page from current events and contemporary research, and stories about "public" sociologists who are engaging with the critical issues of today, the text demonstrates the power of sociology to explain the world, and the diversity of questions that sociologists seek to answer. New to this Edition New "Trending"boxesfocus on influential books written by sociologists that have become part of the public conversation about important issues. Replacing "Public Sociology" boxes, these boxes demonstrate the diversity of sociologys practitioners, methods, and subject matter, and feature such authors as: Michelle Alexander (The New Jim Crow) Elizabeth Armstrong and Laura Hamilton (Paying for the Party) Randol Contreras (The Stick-Up Kids) Matthew Desmond (Evicted) Kimberly Hoang (Dealing in Desire) Arlie Hochschild (Strangers in Their Own Land) Eric Klinenberg (Going Solo) C.J. Pascoe (Dude, Youre a Fag) Lori Peek and Alice Fothergill (Children of Katrina) Allison Pugh (The Tumbleweed Society)Updated examples in the text and "Digital Living" boxeskeep pace with changes in digital technology and online practices, including Uber, bitcoin, net neutrality, digital privacy, WikiLeaks, and cyberactivism.

    There was a problem with the item upon receipt however the seller was quick to respond and provided multiple options for resolution, all of which were fair and reasonable. Within a day of arrival the matter was resolved. Seller is professional and prompt in communication. I was impressed by the paint job and finish on the metal plates of the belt. At the price point it doesn't get any better. It looks even better in person than it does in the pics. Would buy again.
