Correlated to Pearson-Prentice Hall texts and produced with the support of the American Sociological Association, this excellent 22-part distance education course combines “Slice of Life” segments—which use real-life situations to illustrate key sociological concepts and topics related to current issues and behaviors in terms of race, gender, age, ethnicity, family, religion, work, and other societal influences—with illuminating commentary from leading scholars. Allowing plenty of time for class discussion, The Way We Live is broken down into 30-minute episodes, with individual titles including “Connections: The Sociological Perspective,” “Matters of the Flesh: Sexuality,” “Venus and Mars: Gender Stratification,” “Colors: Race and Ethnicity,” “Golden Years: Aging and the Elderly,” and “Waves of Change: Social Change.” The set, which in addition to being available in a four-disc boxed set is also available with separate episodes on DVD for $49.95 each, also features optional eContent for use with campus course and learning management systems (such as Web-CT), a faculty guide, and an exam bank. Highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (L. Stevens)
