Customer Reviews

product good, shipping long

It took about two and a half weeks to ship, which I felt was a little too long. However, the book was in the condition described and met my expectations. Overall, I am satisfied with this seller and this purchase.

Interesting read

I recommend this book for anyone interested in sociology. It is an easy read, interesting, and easy to follow.

WONDERFUL book!

This is a great book to learn about cultures and the way society runs. I have learned so much from this book, it's unbelieveable. It has a non-objective view point on every topic, and contains quotes and sources for everything Ferrante writes. It's very easy to read and very well written! A WONDERFUL book!

Covers the basics

This text book is very basic, but it is good at covering the basic principles of Sociology. Reading this text book would pretty much have you covered for a Soc 101 course. Anything beyond that you would need extra reading material.
