The Engaged Sociologist - Jonathan M White - Bog

This concise text for carries the public sociology movement into the introductory sociology classroom. While teaching students to think sociologically and to develop a sociological eye, it also demonstrates how sociology can be used as a tool for improving society.  As they explains the discipline¿s basic theories and concepts, the authors provide many examples of "engaged" sociologists who are working to solve some of society¿s most intractable problems, and encourage students to become engaged in their own communities.
