New Society

Now going into its seventh edition, New Society provides students with a rich, rigorous, and relevant introduction to the field of sociology. The text is crafted by well-respected and expert contributors from across Canada who come together to answer the question Why Sociology? Each chapter in the text focuses in on important social issues that are of real and everyday concern to Canadian undergraduates. These social issues are intrinsically complex, and it is no surprise that the field of sociology involves a lot of heated debate and controversy. Unique to New Society, this text embraces the excitement within the discipline of sociology and highlights the controversies in the field.
