This review is from: Social Science: An Introduction to the Study of Society (14th Edition) (Paperback)
This book gets right to the point. It's very easy to read even, for a subject like sociology. I am very happy with this book. This book however, does change from one edition to another. My professor was using an older edition and some of the key terms she discussed were not in my book. The chapter placement also changes.

This review is from: Social Science: An Introduction to the Study of Society (14th Edition) (Paperback)
Great book, for what it is! Social Science can be a very boring topic, but this book is so informative that it keeps you interested. Very non-biased in describing and informing on the topics of race and religion.
