This edition includes new statistics and data
throughout to reflect 2016 research. Also, the
author has revised in response to student heatmap
data that pinpointed the topics and concepts
with which students struggled the most.

primarily in Chapters
5 and 14. Other content
changes include the following:
> New/updated opening
vignettes:
> Chapter 1: Pulitzer Prize–
winning sociologist
Matthew Desmond’s
research on evictions and
homelessness in Milwaukee.
> Chapter 3: Improv Everywhere, the “prank
collective.”
> Chapter 6: The Orlando mass shooting at
the Pulse nightclub, as well as more recent
shootings and data.
> Chapter 7: Online dating apps and sites
with a focus on Jessica Carbino, Tinder’s
in-house sociologist.
> Chapter 9: The 2016 election and the role of

person per day.
