Make the familiar new. Experience Sociology empowers students to use the lenses of Culture, Structure, Power to see sociology everywhere. Bringing theory and sociological concepts together, Experience Sociology helps students move beyond an individual perspective to gain a sociological perspective. Experience Sociology engages students with a clear framework for understanding sociology based on three familiar concepts: Culture, Structure, and Power. For every topic in the book - from the family to the economy to the environment - students learn to recognize the effects of the culture that has taught them, see the structures that constrain or empower them, and notice how power operates at every level of society.

I have just completed my first semester using this book in my Introduction to Sociology classes. I am very impressed with it. I would say that, in my several decades of teaching this course, this book is the best I have used.

This was a required book for my Sociology class. It's a very well written book that put information in an interesting way. I rarely got bored reading this book for hours. Maybe it's the topic, but I found this book to be very visually pleasing as well.

Man I felt rip off after the professor said we needed the access card to study when in reality you dint even have to use it. Just read the book and you'll pass! Anyways it happens, and it wanst like super expensive

This is an easy read. The writers explain things in a way that almost anyone can relate to and understand. It all makes sense and if there is an issue, the writers use enough real life data and examples to make it clear. I bought the digital copy.This is the way to go. No more messy highlighters on paper. I just click and highlight the areas I want on my digital copy and then it saves my notes and highlighted areas to a organized page for easy viewing AND I didn't have to pay$148.00 for the paper copy of the book.

The book is a great insight into the world we live in. Easy read and informative. It goes into culture, taxes, education, culture, race etc.

Book arrived well within time. Have only completed the first 5 chapters, but seems to be in a hurry for the review, so... So far, the book seems to be fairly reasonable. That is to say, relatively free of the wacky, extremist views I expected. Ideas are presented clearly. The McGraw- Hill Connect card worked well. Pretty easy to navigate, even for a computer dinosaur like me.

The book was deliverd very quickly and for the cost, definitely better than paying for it at the school book store.

My book was up to date to meet the needs of my Sociology class. However, even though it's a used book and I expected to find writing in the book I also found an old candy wrapper in the pages so my experience is satisfactory.
