Sociology: A Brief Intoduction

I truly enjoyed the class. The book is broken down to simple details. It explain fully what sociology is and what it is all about. The exams after every chapter is a great tool and the information sticks to you.

This product came to me in a timely fashion and I was prepared to start my class.

Great Sociology Book

When I bought this book I was a Sociology major. Since then I have changed my major, but I will keep this book forever. Although we were assigned readings in class, I rarely did so, but when I did I was intrigued. This is a well written easy to follow book. I would definately recommend this book to anyone who is even slightly interested in Sociology or studying sociology. The author doesn't bury the reader with useless fluff or try to drown you in big technical wording. This book starts out by giving the background of sociology and a brief bio of the initial major contributors in the field. I haven't gotten rid of this book because when I decide to MAKE time to read, I will read this again. It's got my vote.
