Social Science: An Introduction to the Study of Society

By Elgin F. Hunt and David Colander

Book Overview

Social Science: An Introduction to the Study of Society 16e approaches social science from a common-sense perspective, rather than from a conventional social science angle. Readers will see how seemingly diverse disciplines intermingle - anthropology and economics, for example.
