Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Anthony Giddens, Mitchell Duneier, and new co-author Richard P. Appelbaum have undertaken a cover-to-cover revision that strengthens the text's unique emphasis on the connections between globalization and everyday life. With new chapters on globalization, focused pedagogy, and abundant global examples, the Fourth Edition encourages students to consider how their individual actions play out in broader systems and how globalization, in turn, affects their everyday lives.

This is a typical mammoth intro textbook, which means it is far from adequate for intro courses. The authors assume that the student is going to devote eight hours a day to the intro course alone, a rather unrealistic expectation. There are dozens such textbooks, none practical. What the point in a many-page bibliography, which not even one in a thousand is even going to consult? It's about time we came down to earth, and started writing intro textbooks for intro courses.

The (distinguished) authors give a newcomer to sociology an indepth introduction. Explaining the main concepts in the field. While also trying to imbue the student with an enthusiasm for sociology. The text is well polished, as it should be for a fifth edition.
The book surveys various human communities throughout the world, to give a basis for comparative analysis. By doing so, the reader should gain an appreciation for other modes of living. And also how to analyse one's own society or subsets of it, in an objective manner.
