{"product_id":"imagining-society-daniel-nehring-9781529204872","title":"Imagining Society: The Case for Sociology","description":"Re-examining C.Wright Mills's legacy as a jumping off point, this original introduction to sociology illuminates global concepts, themes and practices that are fundamental to the discipline. It makes a case for the importance of developing a sociological imagination and provides the steps for how readers can do that. The unique text: - Offers succinct and wide-ranging coverage of many of the most important themes and concepts taught in first year sociology courses; - Has a global framework and case material which engages with decoloniality and critiques an overly white, western and developed world view of sociology; - Is woven through with contemporary examples, from social media to social inequality, big data to the self-help industry; - Rethinks and re-imagines what a critically committed, politically engaged and publicly relevant sociology should look like in the 21st century. This is a lively, engaging and accessible overview of sociology for all its students, teachers and people who want to learn more about sociology today. It is a welcome clarion call for sociology's importance in public life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Nehring, Dylan Kerrigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529204879\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529204872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Daniel Nehring","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126280351999,"sku":"9781529204872","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e471fc11-6d59-4356-821c-4fd299ebeee9.jpg?v=1687447284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagining-society-daniel-nehring-9781529204872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
