great purchase

Excellent introductory sociology textbook

I am a professor teaching sociology in a distance learning university at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. I have found this textbook excellent for our introductory course in sociology at the undergraduate level. It is well organized and the concepts are well explained. The research is well used to inform the reading at that level. I like the internet exercises that can be used in a variety of ways and the chapter reviews as well as the summary of of key terms for the students . This is a 2000 edition so the current research in the family as a social institution on kinship and the kinship theoretical framework developed by Dr. Carolyn Billingsley in 2004, is not addressed. I look forward to reading of this landmark research and theoretical framework on the power of kinship in the settlement of the south addressed in the next edition. This research and theoretical framework legiitimizes genealogy as a field of enquiry in higher education. Her book, Communities of Kinship, Antebellum Families and the Settlement of the Cotton Frontier was published in 2004 by the University of Georgia Press, Athens.
