Social Science - An Introduction To The Study Of Society - Thryft
Social Science - An Introduction To The Study Of Society - Thryft

Explore diverse social issues with an unbiased approach.

This book would be a great read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of the social world around us. The authors take a common-sense approach to exploring the intermingling of various disciplines in social science, making it easy for readers to comprehend. With updated content, the book covers issues from the use of self-driving cars to nuclear arms control. This would be a valuable resource to students looking to enhance their critical thinking skills and approach social issues with an unbiased perspective.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
