In this innovative introductory sociology text, Lorne Tepperman and James Curtis assemble and impressive array of experts to explain key concepts of sociology in ways that students will understand and enjoy. The subjects covered include both those close to readers' everyday lives--socialization, gender, education--and those perhaps further removed but just as important to understanding society--devicance, politics, the environment. Sociology: A Canadian Perspective also includes chapters on the theory and methods of sociology, allowing students deeper understanding of the various subjects studied by sociologist and introducing them to the tools they themselves can use to do sociology. Distinctive features such as thought-provoking 'First Person' boxes provide an intriguing glimpse into why the contributors chose to make sociology their lifework. The whole is rounded out with powerful theme boxes, tables, figures, and photographs that deepen students' understanding of sociology and bring it to life. Sociology: A Canadian Perspective provides all the essentials of an introductory sociology text with a visually stimulating design and effective pedagogy. The result is a text that is sure to captivate students' attention and teach them that sociology has coherence, substantive content, and precision.

OUP Canada

This is a core text for courses in social problems. Using a strong Canadian perspective, it examines the social dynamics and consequences of social problems (such as unemployment, poverty, global inequality) through the lens of the main sociological paradigms. It takes a broad approach and examines the social construction of social problems and the impact of social problems on individual and societal health. Possible solutions for individuals and society at large are examined.

Social Problems

Featuring chapters contributed by leading Canadian sociologists, Sociology: A Canadian Perspective explores Canadian society and its place in the world. Sociology is aimed very specifically at full-year intro sociology courses, instructors who want a higher-level text to challenge and engage their students, and instructors who prefer the flexibility and choice (in terms of content and ancillary materials) that a big book brings. All aspects of the book have been thoroughly revised and updated for this second edition, which includes brand-new chapters on theory, mass media, and sexuality, as well as new references, inserts, learning materials, and photos.

Sociology: A Canadian Perspective

Albanese, Patrizia

Regions Apart provides an invaluable social, cultural, and political comparison of the two countries that share the world's longest undefended border--Canada and the United States. General readers and students alike will find this book an insightful analysis of how and why Americans and Canadians differ, not only from each other but from region to region within each country. Recognizing the inevitability of the comparison, the authors explore the myths about the historical development of the two nations and provide their own thought-provoking interpretation. They argue that the original American colonies and English Canada were very similar societies and that the differences that emerged as the countries developed resulted not simply because of the rupture caused by the American Revolution, but because of internal divisions in each country--between English and French Canada and between the American North and South--that set the two nations on different paths.
