Editorial Reviews

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."

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL book!, March 18, 2006
By Briana Quillian "Big nerd" (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a great book to learn about cultures and the way society runs. I have learned so much from this book, it's unbelieveable. It has a non-objective view point on every topic, and contains quotes and sources for everything Ferrante writes. It's very easy to read and very well written! A WONDERFUL book!

4.0 out of 5 stars product good, shipping long, July 20, 2009
It took about two and a half weeks to ship, which I felt was a little too long. However, the book was in the condition described and met my expectations. Overall, I am satisfied with this seller and this purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars a little more info next time., June 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
this was a free teachers addition. No where in the product description was this listed. that would have been nice to know because at the end of the term when I tried to sell it to the school bookstore they wouldn't buy it because it was a free copy, probably wouldn't have bought it if I had known it was a free addition. how do you sell something that was free anyway?
