Terrible Magnificent Sociology

Reinventing the introductory sociology textbookWith Terrible Magnificent Sociology, Lisa Wade set out to reinvent the introductory sociology textbook by writing a compulsively readable book that uses memorable stories to sell students on the discipline. Her fresh, streamlined approach has been enthusiastically received by instructors and students alike for its emphasis on lively stories, focus on intersectionality, and integrated coverage of sociological theory and methods.
