What key social forces construct and transform our lives as individuals and as members of society? How does our social world shape us? How do we shape our world? 

Discover Sociologyanswers these questions as it explores sociology as a discipline of curious minds, with the theoretical, conceptual, and empirical tools needed to understand, analyze, and even change the world. Organized around the four main themes of The Sociological Imagination, Power and Inequality, Technological Transformations of Society, and Globalization, every chapter in the book illuminates the social roots of diverse phenomena and institutions, ranging from poverty and deviance to capitalism and the nuclear family.  Going beyond theory and concepts, the authors also help answer the question on students' minds: "What can I do with a sociology degree?"
