“Sociological Imagination” boxes place the individual life in a larger social context with the goal of helping students distinguish between personal troubles and public issues.
A hallmark of this text is its chapter-specific emphasis on global issues. The extended examples are a vehicle for weaving together and applying sociological concepts and theories to important issues confronting the United States and the world.
“No Borders, No Boundaries” boxes and maps emphasize that human activities are not confined to fixed political borders, and that those activities have consequences that transcend a particular place.
The book's striking interior design uses colorful photos, maps, and figures and charts to document and illustrate how sociologists conceptualize human relationships and activities.
