Cynthia Reed Tarrant County Community College "I found the author's approach to teaching sociology refreshing and intriguing.

Kell Stone El Camino College "The author's approach is very contemporary and unlike many texts does not seem formulaic." Cynthia Reed Tarrant County Community College "The text's major strength is its unique approach to teaching introductory sociology.

Amy Lynch - George Washington University "I believe the approach to be quite connected to the field and mission of sociology. I believe that linking the text to ideas outside of the field of sociology is what progressive sociological thinkers continually try to do." Risa Garelick - Coconino Community College "The major strength of this book is that it delves deeply into topics and gives very insightful information." Dean Wagstaffe - Indian River Community College "One great strength of this text is the ability to break down information in a palatable format. The sections are not too long, enabling students to assimilate a large mass of material in comfortable formats. Each chapter seems to be well balanced with text, v
