Product Description 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. | ||

Boring, Boring, Boring While some of the information is useful, this is essentially that nightmare of textbooks with which all of us are at some time or another saddled: a fascinating subject presented in the most dry, uninteresting and monotonous fashion possible. If you're into that kind of book, indulge in some stale crackers and brackish water as this book lobotomizes you page by page by page. | ||
Slow to recieve shipment The book itself is in good condition, but buying it from BetterWorld Books was a bad idea. My first order I placed for this book was cancelled due to the fact that they had sold it after I had paid for it. They didn't tell me until a few days after. My money was not returned and I was forced to buy another copy which arrived nearly 2 weeks later. Very bad customer service on their part. I will never buy from this company again in the future if I can avoid it! | ||
Sociology expensive and not a good source of information The book is very expensive for a paperback,information is mixed up and terms are not bold print or examples of the word are shown.This is not a great book where you need to find out information because its just not there.Locating words from index and finding them is a hassle because it might be on another page you have to read it word for word. | ||
Sociology The Essentials text book I received the book very quickly, which was nice but when I opened the package I found that they had sent me the instructors edition. In the description of the book I was told there may be some tape on it, but I didn't assume it would be to cover all the spots that said "instructors edition" on the book! Kind of a bummer because it will be hard to sell this book back now. | ||
Good Buy Book is in great condition and delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Good seller. | ||
