Sociology, Unplugged A Concise Guide to Contemporary Sociology

"Sociology, Unplugged is unlike any other introductory book on the market. Zuckerman has composed an ideal anti-text for instructors who can't stomach traditional textbooks."

Scott R. Harris, Saint Louis University, author of Invitation to the Sociology of Emotions (2e, 2024)

"Thoughtful, accessible, and entertaining, Sociology, Unplugged will get students to turn off their phones and pay attention."

Arlene Stein, Distinguished Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University

"Each chapter opens with a real life story and then proceeds to demonstrate how sociological approaches and concepts enable us to understand our own lives and the world around us at a much deeper level. The result is elegant and captivating."

Azamat Junisbai, Professor of Sociology, Pitzer College

"Zuckerman's conversational style and lack of jargon create an eminently readable and enjoyable text. This text would be excellent for all Introduction to Sociology classes but as a community college professor, I am especially confident that Zuckerman's approachable and relatable style will be of particular benefit to my students."

Amatzya Mezahav, Associate Professor of Sociology, Flathead Valley Community College
