If you didn’t have one before, this book will g-i-v-e you a personality. This is a vital work. From the superficial to the superficial. Also the author sounds like he is his own editor.

Ha! Eat that Sociology! You are finished! B-) Interesting world-view perspective. I enjoyed it. Hated the homework, but enjoyed it.

Sociology in a Changing World was another textbook I read for my sociology class. After reading this book I had a better prospective of sociology.
