"This textbook is about the disciplines in the social sciences: anthropology, economics, geography, history, psychology, and political science. The social sciences have evolved along a dynamic course dealing with events, human behavior, culture, human activities, history, political systems, belief systems, and economic conditions. Its principles, theories, concepts, practices, and methods are deeply rooted in understanding people and society. In this textbook, you will encounter outstanding social scientists, read their ideas and works, reflect on social conditions, and appreciate how the social sciences contributed to understanding the world and human life. This textbook is a good resource material for students who want to understand the social sciences not as set of fragmented disciplines but as a multidisciplinary course."
