Andersen/Taylor’s “Sociology: The Essentials” 11th Edition, introduces students to the field of sociology with a focus on critical thinking through the sociological perspective, debunking common assumptions about society, diversity in all aspects of society, sociological research and applying the sociological perspective to everyday life. The text's emphasis on debunking as a sociological skill encourages students to look behind the facade of everyday life, challenge common myths and develop a better understanding of how society is constructed and sustained. With the most thorough coverage of diversity found in any brief introductory text, the book analyzes many social factors as well as race, class and gender, and aims to broaden students' understanding and empathy toward groups other than those to which they belong.
