Riassunto

Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach, Core Concepts provides in-depth coverage of the ten major topics that are the foundation of many introductory sociology courses. This unique paperback offers a concise format, without sacrificing depth of coverage. The ten chapters included provide full coverage of those topics that many instructors emphasize in a one-semester or one- term introductory sociology course.

Recensione

I appreciate that I have full chapters, rather than condensed ones.

Richard Phillips, University of North Florida

 

 

For the first time in 27 years, I was able to cover an entire Introduction to Sociology text.

George Siebert, University of Buffalo

 

 

[Henslin is] more readable and interesting.  I like the "personal touches."

The chapters are more in line with what I cover. 

Daphne Stevens, University of North Dakota

 

 

This book has fewer chapters but chapters that students will read. Students like the book, tend to bring it to class (which I am not used to) and read it at home (based on test results).

Dan Phillips, Lindsey Wilson College

 

 

The Henslin Core Concepts book is interesting, short, inexpensive and

very doable in a semester's time.

Oklahoma State University
