Reviews and Awards
"In writing style alone, this [text] is head and shoulders above its competition. I find myself drawn into reading more and more of this book."--Jon E. Iannitti, SUNY Morrisville College
"This text takes one step further than most introductory sociology textbooks by challenging the status quo. More importantly, it does so in plain English."--Michelle Newton, Averett College
"The humor in the book is refreshing. The theory section is one of the most timely that I have seen in many texts. Also, the research methods section is one of the clearest I have ever read."--Mark A. Winton, University of Central Florida
