This best-selling text offers an integrated social science view of the world, emphasizing that social and cultural change are the pervasive realities of our era.
One of the main themes of Contemporary Society is that the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial order in the modern world is fraught with difficulties, as was the transition from an agricultural to an industrial order in an earlier era. Within this framework, we can observe the increasing fragmentation of the social order, which tends to lead people away from community and a common purpose and often invites conflict and disunity. At the same time, countervailing social forces are also at work, providing some stability, some shelter in the storm. Finally, societies are faced with the rapid and transformative power of information technology, a fact that propels separate groups of people into a global entity.
- Draws upon sociology, political science, economics, anthropology, geography, history, psychology, and their related disciplines to give students an integrated overview of the social sciences.
-
Provides a thorough overview of the concepts and research in each discipline, as well as current examples of how the discipline affects contemporary life.
-
Emphasizes social and cultural change and how they impact the social order.
-
Complete chapters are devoted to a number of basic concepts that underlie social behavior(some of which is based on biological facts): personality, group interaction, deviance, gender, sexuality, aging, minority status, stratification, and so on.
-
Boxed features throughout the text provide historical and timely topics for class discussion. Some boxes are of the human interest variety, while others show how social scientists arrive at their conclusions.
-
Chapter summaries serve as an excellent tool for focusing on the key concepts presented in each chapter.
-
Includes a glossary of terms with succinct yet accessible definitions in each chapter.
- New scholarship, new statistics, new information has been incorporated into chapters throughout the text thereby presenting students with the latest available social scientific arguments.
-
New material on terrorism, the global economy, the U.S. economy, the rising inequality in wealth and incomes, immigration, education, & the status of religion in the U.S.
-
New Boxes have been added to each chapter. The Boxes offer instructors a point of departure for in-class discussion, and the students another view of the importance of each discipline, or how the social sciences are so thoroughly embedded in life.

Brief Description
This best-selling text offers an integrated social science view of the world, emphasizing that social change is the pervasive reality of our era.
One of the main themes of Contemporary Society is that the transition from an industrial to a post-industrial order in the modern world is fraught with difficulties, as was the transition from an agricultural to an industrial order in an earlier human era. This framework also illustrates the increasing fragmentation of the social order, which leads people away from community and a common purpose to conflict and disunity.
"Most students from diverse disciplines have never taken a course that provided them with an integrated approach to the social sciences. I use this book to provide that experience."
Ann Creighton-Zollar
Virginia Commonwealth University
"This course is taught in the psychology, politics, economics and sociology departments. We need a book that fits the needs of each department. I believe this book is the most appropriate for this course. It is a very comprehensive book because it addresses the commonalities found in each discipline and it dedicates one to two chapters to each field."
