Kendall is an excellent writer!

I was very pleased with the sections of Kendall's book which I have read. She provides coverage of topics not included in other social problems texts. For example, she includes chapters on inequality based on age and sexual orientation, and the issues that arise with those. Her chapters are well-organized, and her writing is straight-forward and easy to understand. She covers micro and macro issues extensively and thoroughly. Great book!
