This text is the teaching solution for instructors who need a brief, accessible text for sociological theory. An affordable alternative to a standard text, this volume includes a range of pedagogical features; it is concise yet comprehensive, informative, and engaging for a wide range of students.

This multicultural anthology represents the range of social theory as it has developed from the 19th century to the present day, and as it will take shape in the 21st century. The book reconstructs the actual dialogue of contemporary social thought and juxtaposes social theorists in unexpected ways.

With contributions by leading scholars, this book shows how classical and contemporary social theories can be used to shed new light on such topics as the Internet, the world of work, fast food restaurants, prostitution, shopping malls, alcohol use, body building, sales and service, and new religious movements.
