After an overview of the history of sociology, the book walks readers through subjects that include individualism; culture; socialization and imagination; values, money, and politics; marriage and family; religious diversity; and education and social change.

Each chapter covers leading thinkers and critical concepts, and chapters build on each other to help readers acquire a holistic view of society and their role in it.
