Reviews / Votes
In writing style alone, this [text] is head and shoulders above its competition. I find myself drawn into reading more and more of this book. * Jon E. Iannitti, SUNY Morrisville College * This text takes one step further than most introductory sociology textbooks by challenging the status quo. More importantly, it does so in plain English. * Michelle Newton, Averett College * The humor in the book is refreshing. The theory section is one of the most timely that I have seen in many texts. Also, the research methods section is one of the clearest I have ever read. * Mark A.
