Angles Of Vision

Angles of Vision

Angles of Vision is a compact text that provides students with basic information about social problems and teaches them a strategy for understanding these issues.

Students learn how to distinguish between individual and structural analyses and the importance of placing issues in a historical and international context to gain a clearer understanding.

In so doing, students come to appreciate that sociology is a hypothesis-testing discipline.

The author uses metaphors, vignettes, and humor to convey the fundamental concepts, key findings, and methods by which sociologists understand social problems.
