Sociology

by Richard T. Schaefer

The new edition of Sociology helps students take Sociology with them on campus, in their careers, and in their communities. While still maintaining its well-balanced coverage of the 3 perspectives, this new revision has a strong focus on encouraging the student to think about their world with a sociological imagination. Through its strong coverage of globalization, race and ethnicity, careers in sociology and current topics like mass media and social policy, Sociology provides students with knowledge they can use at school, at work, in their neighborhoods, and in the global community.

Great book to use for sociology though it would have been better if my teacher actually applied it to class. In theory I enjoyed the sociology, at least the book, but the teacher wasn't all that great. :( Taking this with anthropology and psychology really clicked and linked together wonderfully.

Not bad for a sociology 101 textbook.

Let's be honest, I'm not really reading this. I read like the first chapter and look back in it when my teacher makes us. Otherwise, no one cares. We're on Chapt. 7 at the moment.

This is one of my fav textbook and I learned a great deal from this book when I was first introduced to this book. I also used this book as reference for countless number of project papers for my social science studies as if there are no better references.

In brief, people who are interested with Sociology should get this book. Used to own the older version which is in my junior's hand now. I will definitely buy a new copy when I can because this book is just that good!

Did I mention that I hate sociology? This book didn't help. The terms are hard to understand.

El libro cuenta con bastante información oportuna la cual utilicé para mi proyecto de grado. Útil, pero no fue entretenido.
