Society: The Basics 3RD ED.

With an emphasis on global material and social policy, this work offers discussion on the natural environment, global coverage of issues, research citations and statistical updates, and an enhanced supplement package.

Widely adopted for its engaging writing style, the third edition continues to empower students to see the world, and themselves, in a whole new way. With more emphasis on global material and social policy, every chapter includes something new--a new discussion, new map, new box, new art. Expanded and rewritten for greater clarity and higher interest, the third edition offers a new series of national maps, a new chapter on the natural environment, more global coverage, dozens of new topics, new research citations and statistical updates, and an enhanced supplements package.
