This is a great book to help you out with any sociology classes you will have. It gives you so much information on past events in current with the graphs, surveys, etc. that will really help. This has been very helpful and informative, and has taught me a lot about how our culture and society has developed.
I teach Sociology of the Family and use this text. It is highly readable, clear and fully supported with research. My students love it and actually read it and that is a high compliment for a college text. There will be a new edition coming out next year, but this text is impressive and current.Philip Cohen is an highly qualified professor and author.
I just received the book today, so I have not had a chance to read a couple chapters. I glanced through the table of contents and there are several interesting topics. Looking forward to reading the book. So much has changed lately concerning the family and marriage. I want to find out what's going on. I am of the old school, and I will not be changing my mind.
Used this book for a sociology class and found it to be very informative. The graphics kept it intriguing and the narrative was well put. Glad I bought it to keep, instead of renting.
I like the practicality of experiences and examples used it the book when discussing various contemporary issues.
This textbook help in my learning process
