Book Reviews of Sociology: The Essentials
Book Review: Lots of information.
Summary: 5 Stars
Used for a Intro Sociology class. We didn't go through every chapter of the book, but in my spare time I have finished the rest of it. There is a lot of information to soak up in here, it takes a considerable amount of time to take notes on all of it. It can be overwhelming in parts, but is well worth the effort. Excellent tables, charts and pictures are given to enhance your understanding.
This book can greatly alter the way you view your world and thoroughly explains all of the major theories on which sociology is built. It also explains how each theory would explain a certain idea; which is a huge advantage.
Summary of Sociology: The Essentials
SOCIOLOGY: THE ESSENTIALS, Fifth Edition, uses the theme of debunking myths to look behind the facades of everyday life; challenge ready-made, common-sense assumptions; and help students develop critical thinking skills and better understand how society is constructed and sustained. This thorough but streamlined text provides exceptional coverage of diversity, including social factors such as age, religion, sexual orientation, and region of residence, in addition to race, ethnicity, class, and gender. The text employs a reader-friendly presentation and very manageable structure, even while maintaining a strong focus on sociology concepts, methods, and research. The new edition includes coverage of the latest research and current trends and themes, including the impact of technology on sociological topics.Social Sciences Books
