Pearson eText for Social Problems -- Instant Access (Pearson+)

This title is available via Pearson+ and includes an eTextbook with audio on most titles. Pearson+ also offers expert videos, notes, and flashcards so you can learn anyway you like. Social Problems helps students to see that many things they perceive as personal troubles are actually rooted in the social arrangements of society, and require social solutions to be resolved. Authors Karen Seccombe and William Kornblum bring our most pressing social problems to life through both personal vignettes and empirical data. By highlighting the issues that resonate today, the authors hope to make the work of social activists more effective, and to inspire some readers to take up their causes. Updated with the latest data, the 16th Edition highlights topics pulled from recent headlines — such as health care, suicide, and mass shootings — to emphasize the relevance of course material to students’ lives.
