Book for school

Good book for my class, informative. Arrived on time and in great condition.

Good book

I ordered the looseleaf version of this book initially because it was so much cheaper than the bound version. I really liked the fact that I was able to put this into a two inch binder and take it anywhere without the book getting damaged or dirty. The book is very informative and went well with my Sociology class. If you have ever wondered about getting a looseleaf edition, go for it!

Sociology is the key

This is a great book for beginning students. I am just starting out in this field and this is my first class in the filed. When I first saw this book I was attracted to the cover and the design. It is a beautiful book and very colorful. This pages are also well presented with color and graphic design. The cover ripped the frist time I opened the book so be carefull with this. Although I'm not a teacher I believe that this book is a good source for education. This book can be used as an everyday clssroom book or as a distance learning text as I'm using it. The publishers have a web site that is full of teacher guides and questions for the students to help them with test and quizes. I believe that this text will become pertanent for educating at the college level.
