Review
Lois SabolYakima Valley Community College"The global perspective emphasizes the context of social life and encourages students to go beyond an individualistic understanding to see the bigger picture. The information is solidly supported with evidence and is presented in an attractive, interesting format."
Michelle BemillerKansas State University"McDonalds is featured, and demonstrated as a global corporation. I thought this was ingenious because it really taps into an organization that students are familiar with, and applies organization concepts to McDonalds. I think this chapter will really hold students attention. If the author wanted to contrast organizational structure from one country to the next, Japan is always a good country to use when discussing organizations and bureaucracy because of the emphasis that Japanese work culture places on teamwork."
Monique BalsamShawnee State University"Ferrante's many attractive examples, her student voices and her international perspective make teaching Sociology 101 a joy for professors and fun for undergraduate students. Any professor who would want to attract more students for the sociology major should use Ferrante's outstanding book."
John BrennerSouthwest Virginia Community College"I often describe this textbook as the only textbook that really looks at sociology the way I do. This book is truly global in perspective. It forces the reader to take into consideration the world that we live in. This is not seen in any other textbook that I review. This textbook allows students to explore the basic and necessary terminology of sociology while taking a world trip. I love this textbook and recommend it all the time to those who want to put a global perspective into their course."
Brian MossOakland Community College"Ferrante's introductory sociology text provides a contemporary global view of sociological material. With concrete examples and in-depth explanations, any introductory sociology student will be able to comprehend and apply important concepts by conducting an informed analysis of the social world."
