Description

This best selling comprehensive text shares the excitement of sociology with the acclaimed "down-to-earth" approach that highlights the sociology of everyday life.

The 9th Edition of this highly regarded text retains all the features that have made previous editions so successful. The author has a unique ability to engage students without sacrificing content or talking down to them. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, Henslin shares his passion for sociology with his readers like no other author of an introductory text can.

Features

Theoretically balanced, this text covers all major topics in an introductory course.
One-column design with wide margins showcases the text's celebrated photo and art program.
The author’s trademark “down-to-earth” approach is reflected in the many vignettes, boxes, and examples that are based on personal experience and field research. These first-person accounts provide a rich and compelling “insider’s” perspective on social life.
Social change over time. An important theme in the text is the impact of social change--what society used to be like, how it has changed, and what the implications are for the present and future. A large number of graphs and tables are designed to illustrate social change over time.
Contains two separate chapters on stratification: one on stratification in the United States (Ch. 10), and one on global stratification (Ch. 9).
Five types of thematic boxes complement the text:

Down-to-Earth Sociology” highlight the sociology of everyday life and its relevance to students' lives.
"Mass Media and Social Life" provide the most current coverage of the media and its impact on society.
“Cultural Diversity” help students gain and understanding of other cultures, both in U.S. society and around the world.
"Thinking Critically" focus on controversial social issues and engage students in examining them.
"Sociology and the New Technology" investigate how technology is changing our society and influencing our lives

"Through the Author's Lens" photo essays, from Jim Henslin's travels, enable students to look over the author's shoulder as he experiences other cultures or explores aspects of culture in the United States.
The outstanding supplements package supports a wide range of instructional settings including small discussion groups, large lecture halls, telecourses, and online or Web-based courses.

New Fold-out: Consequences of Social Class

This fold-out is based on the example in the text that reads: “…take a ride on Washington’s Metro system. Start in the blighted Southeast section of downtown D.C. For every mile you travel to where the wealthy live in Montgomery County in Maryland, life expectancy rises about a year and a half.”

What are some of the other differences between the poor, middle class, and rich who live at different points along the Washington D.C. Metro? To investigate this question, introductory sociology students at Montgomery College in Maryland gathered and analyzed data from neighborhoods from the Anacostia station in D.C. to Shady Grove in Maryland. What they learned about home ownership, property value, education, occupation, and other measures of social class, are summarized here.

Reviews

"Henslin hooks students on learning about the world around them, and suggests they seek answers to the question ‘Why should I care?””

Roger Nemeth, Hope College

“My students tell me that they love the varied scenarios Henslin provides in the book.”

Kristie Palmer, Richland Community College

“Henslin begins each chapter with an interesting vignette. The text is accessible and easy to read.”

Lucy Ogburn, Middlesex Community College

“Henslin offers an introduction to research and his heavy inclusion of research shows its importance. He does this at just the right level.”

Jan Poppendieck, City University of New York, Hunter College

“I appreciate Henslin’s balanced theoretical approach, good topic coverage, and that the book is very readable.”

Derral Cheatwood, University of Texas, San Antonio

“The boxed features in Henslin often explore controversial issues that generate great on-line discussions among my distance learning students.”

Kristie Palmer, Richland Community College

“The boxed examples in Henslin add a new dimension to the course. He truly has a down-to-earth approach.”

Sue Dowden, El Camino College

“Students like this book because the reading level is just right, the examples are relevant, and the strong visuals keep them interested. My students also like [Henslin’s] accounts of his many travels; they give the book a global feel.”

Romana Pires, San Bernadino Valley College

Author Bios

James M. Henslin, who was born in Minnesota, graduated from high school and junior college in California and from college in Indiana. Awarded scholarships, he earned his Master’s and doctorate degrees in sociology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. After this, he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from the National Institute of Mental Health, and spent a year studying how people adjust to the suicide of a family member. His primary interests in sociology are the sociology of everyday life, deviance, and international relations. Among his numerous books is Down-to-Earth Sociology: Introductory Readings (Free Press), now in its twelfth edition. This book of readings reflects some of these sociological interests. He has also published widely in sociology journals, including Social Problems and American Journal of Sociology,

While a graduate student, Jim Henslin taught at the University of Missouri at St. Louis. After completing his doctorate, he joined the faculty at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, where he is Professor Emeritus of Sociology. He says, “I’ve always found the introductory course enjoyable to teach. I love to see students’ faces light up when they first glimpse the sociological perspective and begin to see how society has become an essential part of how they view the world.”

Henslin enjoys reading and fishing. His two favorite activities are writing and traveling. He especially enjoys visiting and living in other cultures, for this brings him face to face with behaviors and ways of thinking that he cannot take for granted, experiences that “make sociological principles come alive.”
