4.0 out of 5 stars Sociogoly textbook, July 4, 2010

Gluten-free Mom (Arkansas) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Sociology: A Brief Introduction (Paperback)

As far as textbooks go, this one is pretty good. The chapter divisions break the material down into manageable sections. Each chapter reinforces the ideas of the different sociological concepts studied, so that it's hard not to begin to pick up the concepts of each.
My only complaint is that the author seems to have the idea that all students using this textbook are going to be young people just out of high school. Many of his comments leave out non-traditional students. The median age of students at my college is 35. When the author does a revision of this textbook (And you know he will!) he should make sure he considers his audience closely.

This review is from: Sociology: A Brief Introduction (Paperback)

I truly enjoyed the class. The book is broken down to simple details. It explain fully what sociology is and what it is all about. The exams after every chapter is a great tool and the information sticks to you.

3.0 out of 5 stars ok if you must take the class
I need Sociology for my major. The class requires this book. It's fine. There are some interesting points but Sociology itself is not very interesting to me.
