Essentials of Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach (7th Edition) (MySocLab Series)
Henslin's best-selling brief paperback text shares the excitement of sociology–its acclaimed ?down-to-earth? approach and personal writing style highlight the sociology of everyday life and its relevance to students' lives. This text is a brief version of the highly regarded hardcover introductory text, Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach, 7/e. The essential 15 chapters cover all of the topics in the 22-chapter text, and retain the dual emphases on micro and macro (individual and structural) sociology. James Henslin has a unique ability to engage students without talking down to them or sacrificing content. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, he shares with readers a passion for sociology unmatched by any other introductory text.

Enjoyed way more than I expected.
James Henslin has a great ability to keep you interested. This book is not only a good textbook and reference, it also keeps your attention and informs you. Sociology is not my major but this book has definitely made me consider switching to it.

Interesting read
I have to disagree with the reviewers who consider this book Marxist and liberal. I took a sociology class back in 1989 in a South American country with a newly established democratic government. During the prior military dictatorships, public...

Very opinionated to one political idealogy...
This text is by far the worst college text I have encountered in my educational career. Where most texts stick to relevant facts and figures relating to their area of study, this text delves into opinion coupled with unbridled conjecture.

A Great Introductory Text
I believe one of the previous reviews of this book tried to criticize it for its "preaching of liberal dogmas" and tried to say that it was unbalanced. This is simply not the case. The author of this text is merely trying to use an open approach...

Garbage
The previous reviewers have lauded this college textbook for its accessibility and lucidity. I do not disagree with that assertion. In fact, I would go even farther to say that this book insults the intelligence of any college student who chooses...
