Book excerpt: "This brief anthology for introductory sociology is a collection of 24 short readings that illustrate key concepts in sociology, relate to the everyday lives of students, and spark good classroom discussions. The selections represent four theoretical traditions in sociology (functionalism, symbolic interaction, conflict theory, feminism) and show the range and diversity of sociology and the people who practice it. The book is designed for instructors who want to expose students to some original scholarship in their first sociology course, but who do not want to adopt a comprehensive reader along with the core text they are using. Kimberly McGann, the editor of this collection, selects and edits the articles from their original sources; write introductions and discussion questions to accompany the readings; and provide multiple choice, short answer, and essay questions for each selection"--
