Wendy Wiedenhoft Murphy

Essentials of Sociology, 3rd Edition, (PDF) adapted from George Ritzer’s Introduction to Sociology, offers the same rock-solid foundation from one of sociology′s best-known thinkers in a briefer and more streamlined format. With new co-author Wendy Wiedenhoft Murphy, the updated 3rd Edition continues to illuminate traditional sociological concepts and theories and stresses some of the most compelling features of contemporary social life: globalization, the internet, consumer culture, and the “McDonaldization” of society.

New to this Third Edition (978-1506388953, 978-1506388946):

  • New “Trending” boxes emphasize influential books by sociologists that have become part of the public conversation about important issues.

  • Eric Klinenberg (Going Solo)
  • J. Pascoe (Dude, You′re a Fag)
  • Michelle Alexander (The New Jim Crow)
  • Allison Pugh (The Tumbleweed Society)
  • Arlie Hochschild (Strangers in Their Own Land)
  • Lori Peek and Alice Fothergill (Children of Katrina)
  • Updated examples in the ebook and “Digital Living” boxes keep pace with variations in digital technology and online practices, including Uber, net neutrality, Bitcoin, digital privacy, WikiLeaks, and cyberactivism.
  • New or updated subjects implement sociological thinking to the latest issues including:
    • Brexit
    • climate change
    • charter schools
    • the 2016 U.S. election
    • the Flint water crisis
    • fourth-wave feminism
    • the global growth of ISIS
    • the legalization of marijuana
