The Real World: An Introduction to Sociology

Bys: Ferris, Kerry and Stein, Jill

Teachers select The Real World because students love it. Kerry Ferris and Jill Stein set out to write a book that was sorely needed for sociology courses: one that was written for student readers. Now in its Ninth Edition, The Real World been used by over 7,500 high school students.

In every chapter, Ferris and Stein use examples from everyday life, the media, and pop culture to get students thinking sociologically and to show the relevance of sociology to their relationships, jobs, and the future of society. Innovative and assignable Data Workshops give students a chance to apply theoretical concepts to their own lives and get hands-on experience with the tools of social science. The new Norton Illumine Ebook features interactives, videos, and concept check questions to support students as they develop their sociological imaginations.
