Summary:

Mapping the Social Landscape: Readings in Sociology is one of the most established and widely used anthologies for Introductory Sociology. Susan J. Ferguson selects, edits, and introduces 58 readings representing a plurality of voices and views within sociology. The selections include classic statements from great thinkers like C. Wright Mills, Karl Marx, and Max Weber, as well as the works of contemporary scholars who address current social issues. Throughout this collection, there are many opportunities to discuss individual, interactional, and structural levels of society; the roles of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality in shaping social life; and the intersection of statuses and identities. New selections focus on, how Superstorm Sandy damaged social as well as physical structures, gender panic and bathrooms, extreme poverty in the United States, transgender challenges to our understanding of gender, a Muslim American punk rock subculture that is challenging Islamophobia, lessons from the Affordable Care Act, revolutionary movements for social change, The organization follows that of a typical introductory sociology course and provides coverage of key concepts including culture, socialization, deviance, social structure, social inequality, social institutions, and social change.
