This text examines the structure of stratification in the United States, focusing on the way one's class location influences his or her life opportunities. Beeghley uses three themes to illustrate social stratification: How power influences the distribution of resources in the United States; how social structure influences rates of events; and how social psychological factors influence how individuals act on, and react to, the situations in which they find themselves.

This book fairly cut and dry, which is exactly what I like in sociology textbooks. Beeghley takes an unbiased view on social stratification and inequalities in contemporary society. He uses cross national and longitudinal data to effectively emphasize his points, which are valid and thought provoking. The book is well written and worth enough to keep on my bookshelf. Do you happen to be taking Beeghleys class? Do yourself the favor and buy this book!
I had to buy this for a class, and needless to say by the midway point of the semester, the professor ditched the book in favor of other sources. This book cites from Wikipedia, which an academic work should never do that.
THE KNOWLEDGE IN THIS TEXTBOOK WAS AWESOME!!!!
