Make Sociology new with McGraw-Hill's "Connect Sociology" and "SOC2013." New to Connect is "Investigate Sociology, " a brand-new tool that develops students' sociological imaginations by placing them in provocative scenarios where they must analyze various sources and determine a solution. Connect also comes with "LearnSmart," an adaptive questioning tool proven to increase content comprehension and student results, as well as fun interactivities like "In their Shoes" and" Applying the Perspectives" that teach sociology's three theoretical frameworks. Finally, make sure students come prepared to class by assigning our many "e-book activities." With McGraw-Hill's digital tools, focus on what you do best--teaching. "Unique to this program, SOC 2013 uses extensive research to meet students where they are, by providing an appealing, affordable and current program." This, coupled with powerful digital learning tools, makes "SOC 2013" an ideal choice for your introductory course.

This book really had everything I needed for Sociology 101 in my freshman college year. Can't really rate on the questions, quizzes, or tests, but for content this is a great text to turn to. Every topic has a real life example that is easy to understand and relate to. I would recommend this to any person interested in sociology as a hobby. Not sure if I could recommend it for a current course as it is most likely out-dated.

My students really enjoyed this book. They reported that it was easy to read and relatable with relevant examples and references. A couple even said they would you reading ahead and covering chapters that weren't assigned.

pretty heteronormative for a book that came out in 2018 lmao. “cohabitation is between a man and woman in a sexual relationship” shut up

Excellent book! Straight to the point with lots of examples and movies for reference. It is styled like a magazine, which is a neat idea but the book takes a lot of wear & tear. I had to use the internet to delve a little deeper on some subjects for school though. Overall, a good read:-)

This serves as a great introduction to sociology. Even if you think you don't like sociology it actually addresses real life problems with interesting perspectives.

Reading it for a class, not for pleasure. :-/
