This unique interactive movie on two CD-ROMs demonstrates the sociological imagination using actors and scenarios involving campus life. Taking on the role of one of the characters, each viewer takes part in key plot turns by making choices for the character. Through it all, a wide variety of issues and perspectives are addressed, reinforcing major sociological concepts and theories, relating them to students' lives, and sparking debate. One college town, many kinds of people -- imagine yourself as a student at Pineville University. What social forces affect the choices you make in life? Reel Society is the interactive movie that gives you the chance to find out. Society isn’t just one person’s story. So take a different perspective. Think differently. Live your life as someone different. Should you stay home and hit the books? Or spend the evening relaxing with friends. What’s more important – your education or your family? You decide. Experience how cultural differences, stratification, political systems, norms, religion and the media affect your life. Spark your sociological imagination. Learn differently. Reel Society 2.0 is the learning tool for bridging the classroom and real life. In addition to the interactive movie, explanatory text and a glossary, this enhanced two CD set includes quizzes and discussion questions to test your knowledge of sociology. Plus, there are links to the McGraw-Hill sociology websites. A perfect complement to any introductory sociology textbook, Reel Society 2.0 is available in discounted packages with selected McGraw-Hill texts.

Extraordinary Groups has had a storied history of excellence over multiple editions. Now available from Waveland Press at the start of its fifth decade of availability, its interdisciplinary approach to groups engaged in unconventional lifestyles makes it a popular textbook choice in hundreds of college courses across the social sciences, including anthropology, religion, history, and psychology. Written by sociologists, using and illustrating sociological principles, the book is appealing because it is descriptive and explanatory rather than analytical. Descriptions of the groups are interwoven with basic sociological concepts, but systematic analysis and inductive reasoning are left to the discretion of the instructor. Extraordinary Groups is a compelling overview of the broad tapestry of social life that constitutes the United States. The illustrated, full-featured Ninth Edition includes a glossary and end-of-chapter key terms, sources on the Web, and selected readings.

What is the purpose of studying history? How do we reflect on contemporary life from a historical perspective, and can such reflection help us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve? Written by an accomplished historian, award-winning author, public evangelical spokesman, and respected teacher, this introductory textbook shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. John Fea shows that deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ. The first edition of this book has been used widely in Christian colleges across the country. The second edition provides an updated introduction to the study of history and the historian's vocation. The book has also been revised throughout and incorporates Fea's reflections on this topic from throughout the past 10 years.
