In this update of the 2010 edition, Ferris (Northern Illinois U.) and Stein (Santa Barbara City College) provide an accessible approach to the study of everyday contemporary life including mass media, popular culture, relationships, social institutions, inequalities, activism, and communication technologies. Though the emphasis is on the interactionist perspective, they also cover postmodernism and other theoretical approaches. The text features real-world examples, "relevance boxes" of practical applications of sociological concepts, data analysis projects, color infographics, chapter questions for review, suggestions for further explorations, a glossary, and companion online study site and blog.
