The book is exactly what i needed. I gave it four stars because it is actually for school and not for fun reading. haha. The business I ordered it from was great. It came very quickly and was packaged nicely. I will definately order more from them.

Very good book, but really going to happen

I have this book for m sociology class. It is a good and well written book which lays out sociological theories and applies them to how to solve social problems, BUT just like any other thing...if this is the answer to all the worlds problems, then how come no one has done anything about it.
