Understanding Social Problems: Sparking the Sociological Imagination Through a Theme-Based Approach Extensively updated and revised, and now emphasizing signature concepts that reflect the perspective of new author Karen Seccombe, REVEL(TM) for this Fifteenth Edition of Social Problems maintains its focus on one overarching goal - to spark a sociological imagination. A variety of pedagogical devices help students to more clearly see how many individual issues and personal problems are rooted in the social arrangements of society. Four major themes guide this edition: an empirical methodology; linking individual experience with social structure; recognizing that social inequality contributes to social problems; and a comparative approach. With features that emphasize first-person accounts, recent problems in the public spotlight, critical discussion of partisan debates, and a global view of social problems, REVEL for the Fifteenth Edition explores social problems that are relevant and engaging to students - from same-sex marriage to police use of force to climate change. REVEL is Pearson's newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, REVEL replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, REVEL is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience - for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
