Sociology
J. Henslin

Adapted from Henslin's best-selling comprehensive hardback text, Core Concepts provides in-depth coverage of ten high-priority topics that are the foundation of many introductory sociology courses.  This unique paperback offers a concise and economical format without sacrificing depth of coverage. Unlike a "brief" or "essentials" text, the ten chapters that make up Core Concepts are not edited down from a longer book. Instead, they provide full coverage of those topics that instructors emphasize the most in a one-semester or one-term introductory sociology course. And like Henslin's other texts, it features the author's familiar "down-to-earth" approach and personal writing style that highlight the sociology of everyday life. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, Henslin shares with readers a passion for sociology unmatched by any other introductory text.Each of the ten chapters explores one "core" topic in detail.To customize your course, up to 3 additional chapters can be added to your MySocLab site - for Free. Contact your local representative for more information.Exceptional art program, featuring compelling photos and captions, figures, and Social Maps of U.S. and the world.Compelling vignettes, many based on the author's personal experiences, open each chapter. "Summary and Review" sections end each chapter in a popular question-and-answer format. "Through the Author's Lens" photo essays, from Jim Henslin's travels, enable students to look over the author's shoulder as he experiences other cultures or explores aspects of culture in the United States.Five types of thematic boxes complement the text: "Down-to-Earth Sociology" boxes highlight the sociology of everyday life and its relevance to students' lives."Mass Media and Social Life" provides the most current coverage of the media and its impact on society."Cultural Diversity" boxes help students gain an understanding of other cultures, both in the U.S and around the world."Thinking Critically" sections focus on controversial social issues and engage students in examining them."Sociology and the New Technology" investigates how technology is changing our society and influencing our lives.Customize your course! Up to 3 optional chapters can be added to the CourseCompass version of MySocLab.

Richard Phillips, University of North Florida  For the first time in 27 years, I was able to cover an entire Introduction to Sociology text. George Siebert, University of Buffalo  [Henslin is] more readable and interesting.  I like the "personal touches."The chapters are more in line with what I cover.  Daphne Stevens, University of North Dakota  This book has fewer chapters but chapters that students will read. Students like the book, tend to bring it to class (which I am not used to) and read it at home (based on test results). Dan Phillips, Lindsey Wilson College  The Henslin Core Concepts book is interesting, short, inexpensive andvery doable in a semester's time. Oklahoma State University
