Interesting Sociological Study

This study was very helpful to my sociology work in graduate school and gives evidence of actual patterns that occur and reoccur in our culture and others. I was struckthat some studies needed a little more explanation to make it clear as to why the research was done a certain way. I hope that this book is revised and new information is added because it is a truly valuable source for not just sociology students and scholars, but for those in fields such as psychology or fields requiring statistical analyses. A very large blend of topics, but is handled with care by the authors, so is a successful treatment of the subject.
