examined to pieces

I really enjoy the writers personality. The book was very good. I would read other material he has written. I believe he knows what he's talking about and explains it in fun detail. He comes across with humor that brings the subject closer to home. This is a living book. You can see what is happening....love it.

A great introduction to sociology!

This is a wonderful book for introducing undergraduate students to the philosophy of Sociology. Schwalbe's concept of "mindfulness" really grabs you. The concept is deceptively simple but extremely rich in its power to inspire the sociological imagination in students - and professors. Mindfulness ---- what a great idea!
