Exploring Sociology: A Canadian Perspective [with MySocLab & eText Access Code]

Exploring Sociology is a
"students first" resource written with millennial students in mind,
and with their help.

Bruce Ravelli and Michelle Webber,
the authors of Exploring Sociology, believe that
theory provides the foundation for sociology and that students need
to explore both classical and modern theory to grasp the
sociological endeavour fully. Accordingly, this text provides the
most comprehensive overview of classical and modern social theories
of any textbook. This is the first mainstream introductory
sociology text to devote an entire chapter to contemporary
theory, and the first to integrate postmodern and post-structural
theoretical insights meaningfully throughout the book. 

The authors inspire students to think
sociologically , to engage their sociological
imaginations, and to foster an appreciation for  how
social factors such as income level, gender, and minority
status influence who they are and the people they
become.  Through its distinctive approach to the field,
its readability, and its relevance to Canadian students’
lives, Exploring Sociology: A Canadian Perspective supports
professors in developing their students' sociological
imaginations and encouraging them to see sociology from
multiple perspectives.

Rarely does the student, the person who
uses the textbook and technology, participate in the writing and
development process. For the second edition of Exploring
Sociology, students had an opportunity to offer feedback and to
have 'their say'. Students offered their suggestions for
improvement through anonymous online surveys, manuscript reviews,
and in-class evaluations. The authors addressed students'
comments with respect to  the presentation of theory and the
pedagogical features.
