Social Science: An Introduction to the Study of Society (17th edition.)

Now in its seventeenth edition, this textbook approaches its study from a common-sense perspective, rather than a formalistic perspective more common in social science.

Readers will see how seemingly diverse disciplines intermingle and connect to one another - anthropology and economics, for example.

The goal of the book is to teach students critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will allow them to approach social issues in an objective and informed way.
