This text combines the best of Barkan's comprehensive edition with longer chapters and updated information, in a brief format of 16 critical chapters, leaving out the chapters often covered by other sociology courses or not a part of most major requirements. The text still presents in clear and engaging language for students a sociological understanding of society and a sociological perspective on how to change it.
