For use as a supplemental text in the Introductory Sociology, Global Issues, and Culture & Society courses.

 

Think Twice! lets students realize for themselves that a “sociological imagination” can help them understand the burning questions of today's society, and that this kind of thinking is within their grasp. It illustrates how understanding society means engaging with its issues. The Second Edition consists of a series of debates in which multiple sides of today's hottest topics are examined–Is the environment improving? Is religion dead? Do poor people create their own poverty? Should marijuana be legalized? Is ethnic nationalism destructive? Revealing how much sociology has to contribute to our understanding of these topics, it encourages readers to Think Twice...then think again.

    Born in Toronto, Canada, I studied music there -- piano and composition -- and at National Music Camp in Michigan. But then I got seduced by sociology. I studied that at the University of Toronto, the social relations at Harvard University and demography at Princeton University. Then, I returned to Canada. For over fifty years, I taught sociology to undergraduates at the University of Toronto. During that time, I also published books -- especially, textbooks -- on families, social inequality, crime and deviance, social problems, and sociology more generally. I also published monographs. One, a monograph on the future of families, was translated into Vietnamese for publication there. Another, a monograph on gambling addiction, was translated into Russian for publication there. (In fairness, that book was also about the Russian author, Dosteoevsky, and his famous gambling addiction.) Since retiring from teaching, I have been writing mystery novels and the first, titled THE DONATION, will be published in fall of 2024 by Rock's Mills Press.

I am very happy with my purchase, the book arrived earlier than the expected delivery date. The book was listed in as new condition and arrived in excellent condition looking like a brand new book. I have recommended to all my Uni friends to check out the site before purchasing their texts at full price else where. I would not hesitate to purchase again and hope to find all my future text books through the site, thankyou I received what i needed at a fraction of the price, as a student every saving I can make on text books makes life that much easier.
