N2  - "This is a low-cost, paperback, condensed version of Sociology: A Brief Introduction, Sixth Edition. The conciseness, readability, and highly focused coverage of Sociology Matters are designed to appeal to instructors who rely on several texts rather than on a single comprehensive textbook. Its design and pedagogy are both straightforward and streamlined. Sociology Matters features newly written chapter introductions and a unifying theme--answering the question "How does sociology matter?""--Publisher description
