About the Book

Now in its eigthteenth edition, Social Science: An Introduction to the Study of Society approaches its study from a common sense perspective, rather than a formalistic perspective more common in social science texts. Readers will see how seemingly diverse disciplines intermingle and connect to one another-anthropology and economics, for example. The goal of the book is to teach students critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will allow them to approach social issues in an objective and informed way.

New to this edition are significant updates on:

  • Debates about the limits of democracy, and the developing Chinese political alternative.
  • Political, economic, and social implications of the Covid pandemic.
  • Assessment of the Donald Trump presidency.
  • Political, economic, and social implications of the movement from the Trump presidency to the Biden presidency.
  • Implications of the multitrillion-dollar budget deficits the US government has been running.
  • The emergence of populist movements throughout the world.
  • The Chinese political and economic challenge to the United States.
  • Recent developments in evolution theory.
  • Examples, data, recommended readings, and Internet questions.
  • Critical thinking questions.
