An affordable, no-nonsense introduction to sociology for today’s students.Introduction to Sociology focuses only on what students need to know in order to master the sociological concepts taught in the introductory course. Each chapter in the Tenth Edition follows the same consistent four-part structure: First, the authors introduce the basic concepts before discussing sociological theory. They then turn their attention to current research and finally wrap up by exploring unanswered questions that face sociologists today. This consistent, thoughtful organization―coupled with learning objectives, Concept Checks, and Big Picture concept maps―keeps students focused on the core concepts. Now supported by InQuizitive, the Tenth Edition builds on the book’s long-standing strengths: emphasis on linking micro and macro sociology, coverage of the best recent research, and an exceptionally affordable price relative to other comprehensive texts.

The book [2nd Edition] is very easy to read and understand. A must for students of other fields who want to have a peep into sociology without spending too much time. This book discusses the major question of modern sociology. Not only does it give the reader fast insight into some major matters of sociology, but it also saves the reader many hours of unnecessary reading for an introduction to the subject.
this book is an excellent choice for students and teachers in sociology classes. good readings, good studies, and overall good information.Also this book is smaller than the actual one, but its good because it has the same info as the larger one just less pictures, but all the studies, information, and charts remain.
Wow. There is a lot of wordy nonsense in this book. Doesn't really focus on the big picture but provides a bunch of examples on everything. The book is also poorly organized and the dictation is dull. If you want to learn sociology and its a new field of study for you, this book will rip your enthusiasm to shreds. The book came in good condition though.
I have used this book along a more traditional sociology text book, Gellles and Levine 6th Edition, and this book has taken more and more of lecture time. I like the fact that it pust sociology into a global perspective, though I do think some of the examples are geared toward traditional, middle class university students, and not the working class, non traditional students I work with at a community college. However, compared to the G/L book this text is much shorter and conscise. A great introductory text book for sociology, with personal examples to think critically and sociologically about globalization. I also like its inclusion of feminist theory and general gender issues through out the book, not just in the gender chapter. I highly recommend it.
I thought this book was really helpful in introducing the basic terms and concepts of Sociology. Everything is clear cut and really easy to understand. This is a great book if you're just starting to learn about Sociology. If you are already a pro then you probably will only need this book to refresh some basic concepts.
Had to rent this horrible textbook for my Sociology Class. I'm so happy I'm no longer taking it.The text book is very redundant and often repeats itself. YES IT GET IT, MARX's CLASS CONFLICT IS A BIG THING but WHY IN THE WORLD does it REPEAT ITSELF SO MUCH. The first two chapters, it's fine to talk about class conflict but to see it over and over again just drags out the content. Seriously this textbook could be so much shorter. It's not just me but it's also my class mates and even some of the reviews, alot of people agree with this. Oh and don't get me started with the redundancy of functionalism repeating itself. I actually had to use another sociology textbook from another friend, and that book was so much more concise. Nothing but dragged out statistics and redundancy to make the text-book longer to make it seem more "content-filled." Blech...I got an A in the class but I hated it and I loathe' this book with a passion.Most of the content is literally common sense, making me question the "value" of learning sociology...I respect the field but this textbook was awful.
This is honestly a great book! I learned so much reading this book alone and it honestly makes me look at things (or I should I say people) a little more differently now. I feel like you get your money's worth with this one: it's pretty thick and in my class we went through a good amount of the chapters so it wasn't a waster of money. I sold it back to because times are tight and I needed the money but I would certainly buy this textbook again. Also unless you school has it super cheap, buy it from here and not from your school.
This textbook was a complete headache to read with it's long chapters and needlessly detailed explanations (some definitions don't need to take up half a margin!). I wouldn't suggest it for any class, too wordy and it's easy to get caught up in unimportant details, I have the impression that I would have enjoyed SOC1010 more if it wasn't for the textbook.
