Unleash the Sociological Imagination - Applications in Real Life

The first edition of Unleash the Sociological Imagination-Applications in Real Life encourages students to take sociology with them in their everyday lives, just as sociologists usually keep a small notebook of daily sociological reflections.  This textbook adheres to the scope and sequence of a typical, one-semester introductory sociology course.  It provides comprehensive coverage of core concepts and foundational scholars and as well as illustrating classical theories.  

Packed with current examples students can easily relate to, Unleash the Sociological Imagination, first edition delivers comprehensive, up-to-date coverage in an affordable and succinct format.  The author tries to offer a new mindset for learning sociology in a practical and enlightened way.  This book uniquely analyzes daily social problems through a cross-cultural perspective to stimulate students to be equipped to think globally.  The text threads two basic ideas throughout: sociology is a scientific, rigorous discipline; and fundamental and core knowledge of sociology is essential for understanding social interactions in many work, life and social settings, especially in todays’ complicated social situations.  

As you may suppose from the textbook’s name, all sociology students should not only think outside of the box but also try to instill a new mindset so as to unleash their wild and distinct sociological imagination by putting on their sociological glasses to grasp the true pulse of social reality. As a first edition textbook, it holds a potential to be a better and more mature textbook as it has been derived from the feedback of students to actual classroom presentations.  

This book is a starting point for any people who are interested in exploring sociology and as the book author, I hope you enjoy each sunset, cloud and turning of this meaningful journey.
