Summary:

KEY FEATURES: . Designed to be used in a range of 100-level and 200-level courses, including introductory sociology, social problems, and courses that focus on race, class, gender, or sexuality. . Introduces students to basic analytic techniques in the social sciences, such as frequency distributions, cross-tabulations, and comparisons of means. . No software purchase required-all exercises are carried out on the open-access Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) website. . Screen captures from the SDA website, and careful step-by-step instructions, are provided to help students with no previous data analysis experience. . Early chapters focus on single categories of difference and inequality; later chapters examine how these factors intersect within the domains of family, education, and work. . Multiple choice questions and open-ended exercises at the end of each chapter test mastery of the material and give students opportunities to extend their analyses to other questions.
