Great text

This is an excellent text. It discusses material objectively, clearly, and concisely. I would recommend it for any professor or student.

Clear, compellling authors!!

I used this text for a course in "Social Problems in Human Relations." A quote from one of my students perhaps typifies all student reactions: "Reading Sociology books used to be murder, but this text is so readable, so compelling. What happened (for the better)?!"As instructor, I appreciate the way the authors include notonly the theoretical paradigms to accompany each socialissue, but also the political perspectives -- all in readerfriendly ways.Each chapter opens with a brief, real-life story, helping the reader to instantly connect with the so-called "sociological imagination" and begging the reader to read on.
