OK I guess

This is a text book that covers the four sociological perspective of each social problem issue like homelessness, enviroment, etc. It was interesting to know that there are many perspectives on issues and what they have to say about why social problems exist. Nothing that couldn't be summerized into a five page book though.

WOW!

This Book was so cheap...and was worth more than what I got it for. I would order from the seller again. It got to me on time. They responded quick to my question in e-mail. I am very happy. You won't be let down. A+++++++++++++...THANKS!
