Book Description

Publication Date: January 4, 2006 | ISBN-10: 0495008486 | ISBN-13: 978-0495008484 | Edition: 3

This balanced, mainstream, beautifully written and totally up-to-date text is unrivalled in its ability to get students to see the connection between themselves and the social world. It teaches students how to think sociologically, not just what to think, and emphasizes the importance of diversity and a global perspective. It has been heralded for its inclusion of pop culture examples that instantly connect with today's students, and for its presentation of sociological concepts in a fresh, contemporary light.

Came through fast. So much cheaper over the school's price. Condition doesn't really matter as long as the material is all there for me to get.

Its a text book what can I say? Except that I love to get a deal on them. College cost are becoming prohibitive fast! Buying new ones is horrible and seems like a racket to me. I am grateful to have this option. It also arrived much quicker than I was led to expect, that was a bonus!
