The seventh edition of this research-based survey presents sociological principles using five key concepts: function, structure, action, culture, and power. These concepts allow the text to provide a more comprehensive coverage of structural sociology and culture than any other book. The balanced presentation is combined with student-oriented examples that bring the content to life.
