"As part of SAGE's "Sociology in Action" series, Sociology In Action: Social Problems will engage students in active learning in class, on their own, and in their local communities, as they explore a range of social problems and consider sociological solutions to issues facing society today. The text is ideal for instructors who want to rely less on lecturing and more on discussion, collaboration, self-directed investigation, observation, analysis, and reflection"-- Provided by publisher.
