I purchased this book for a university course in Sociology and can't recommend it enough. It's written in plain everyday language (no technical jargon) and all the concepts are explained simply yet in a way which naturally draws the student's/reader's attention and interest. My course was made easier and more interesting thanks to this book and the style in which it is written. Thanks to Michael Hughes and Carolyn Kroehler for such a well-written, interesting and innovative textbook.

Most of you who will buy this book, will probably do so because it is required in a SOC101 class. If you have to buy this book, be happy, because this is an excellent book that covers a broad spectrum of Sociology. If you are wanting to enrich your knowledge of Sociology, then look no further. This is an excellent supplement for any other text.

This text is very informative in an easy to read and digest manner. The wording is extremely user friendly with interesting facts on sociological issues around the world. The book is filled with moving photographs of the plights of people around our country and the world. All in all, this is an enhanced edition that is made to surround the topics of Sociology in a manner that is comprehendable and fun. You will be happy that you bought it.

Using this book for class. It is very well written, far to enjoyable to read for a textbook.

I was surprised to find that the topics in this book are rather recent. Seeing as how most text books that cover "curent" topics,aren't curent at all, but rather from at least a decade ago.

Great for the beginning sociology student!

Dear smart college shopper,

I R kollege stoodent. I was assigned the 10th edition and took a shot with this 9th. Almost identical. Go ahead, save money and buy this 9th edition

This book covers the fundamentals and outlines them at the end of each chapter and has sections that ask questions and makes the reader think. It isn't all boring text either, there are a decent amount of pictures and graphs, some used quite effectively to demonstrate a point. Overall I felt it was non-bias and covered all sides of the topics and explored them in non-conventional ways. As an engineering student I surprised myself and really enjoyed this book.

Second textbook I have purchased that amazon claims to be new. It was received worn and with highlighting throughout the book. I will definitely think twice before purchasing textbooks from amazon again.

I needed this item for a sociology class. I ordered it. It quickly arrived, as promised. It was the correct book for the course, and it was in excellent condition.

fast shipping... I purchased these 2 books Down to the Earth and Sociology the core.. both came exactly as what I needed in my Sociology class. I haven't read the whole chapters but there are a lot of important information in these books..

I'm so disappointed in Amazon that Claims that This book "Sociology: The Core" is New. However, It's Not obviously. The book has Hight-lighted at a Page, which is Green. I've paid for $48.18 for it. And what I've gotten is A Used?? Really??? It should be indicated condition "like new", or "good" ect. instead of NEW. I got to say:" Amazon, whoever works there, you should Not treat Customers like this. We know which one is New, and which one is Used. We are not STUPID. -_-
