fucking sucks

[Kira Griffin · Rating 3 out of 5]

would be 5 stars if the only content was marxism but unfortunately durkheim and parsons exist

since this book is the reason i haven’t read a real book in like a month i’m counting it so i don’t fall behind on my goodreads, characters of Parsons and Murray were perfectly written villains, also someone tell Gillborn to do literally anything else, why do you need 1000 theories?? if i ever see him i fear for his safety.

The book was very helpful for my Sociology AS exam

Excellent textbook for AS sociology, everything you need to know is in here. Would have been helpful if they'd condensed the information a bit more though.
