Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach, 15th Edition, introduces core sociological concepts to help readers understand both society and their own lives. Published by Pearson, this textbook pairs a traditional three-perspectives framework with author James M. Henslin's firsthand travel accounts.
The text focuses on three broad dimensions of the discipline: foundational social processes, structural inequality, and established social institutions. Analysis examines how collective norms guide everyday behavior, while broader inquiries explore societal stratification and political systems.
This 15th Edition incorporates citations to recent sociological research and addresses contemporary social change. Intended learning support in digital formats includes interactive tools such as customizable flashcards to assist student review.
