Understanding Social Issues: Critical Thinking and Analysis

As a graduate student teacher, I can remember how difficult reading and analyzing statistics in sociological articles can be. These authors have developped an interesting workbook that not only educates students about major social issues, but also shows them how to play with the numbers in tables and interpret them as well. If you wish to teach critical thinking skills in your class that can enable students to be able to analyze the data they are presented with in life, instead of having students memorize statistics on inequality, I would strongly suggest this book.
