How Societies Work offers a unique introduction to the analysis of contemporary Canadian society by focusing on both the roots of modern societies and the current political economy of Canada. Drawing on various sociological theories as well as anthropology, genetics, economics, history, philosophy, politics, and social psychology, this accessible and integrated work helps undergraduate students make sense of our complex social world. The author's goal is to open students' minds to the "sociological imagination," allowing them to connect the social world to their own lived experiences. For the fourth edition, the book has been thoroughly revised. Several chapters have been reorganized, many new topics have been added, and, overall, both the language and content have been made even more student friendly. Book jacket.
