Macionis empowers students to understand the world around them through a sociological lens, so they can better understand sociology and their own lives.
 
Sociology, 14th edition is written to help students find and use sociology in everyday life. With a complete theoretical framework and a global perspective, Sociology offers students an accessible and relevant introduction to sociology.
