Although I'm only at chapter two, I'm impressed that the author wrote the book with the AVERAGE readers in mind. A very user-friendly book, full of refreshingly mind-opening information. Good job!
Good stuff. April 11, 2009

The author of Esstentials of Sociology has first-hand experience around the world observing different groups of people in different countries. This enables him to provide the reader with examples to demonstrate principles and topics of sociology that makes them easy to understand. Very well-writen; an easy-read. Contains great pictures, charts, graphs, statistics, etc.

I loved this book!! I used it for my intro to soc class my first quarter of school. Henslin does a great job of explaining theories and terms in a way that the reader can understand. He also has a great way of keeping the reader interested in what is being said through different examples, charts, and pictures! This is a great book!!
