Sociology (2011) by James M. Henslin provides a broad overview of the principles and concepts within the field of sociology. The book examines how society influences individuals and groups through topics such as culture, socialization, social structure, and social institutions like family, religion, and education. It also covers issues of social inequality, deviance, and the role of power in shaping social interactions. Henslin uses a balanced approach, incorporating classical and contemporary sociological theories, research methods, and real-life examples to make the material engaging and relevant for students.
