Sociology

John J. Macionis presents Sociology (18th Edition), a Pearson textbook designed to introduce core sociological theories and empirical research techniques. The text connects theoretical models with observations of everyday social life.

Readers examine broad sociological frameworks along with the methods researchers use to gather empirical data. These analytical tools demonstrate how background social context influences individual behaviors.
