Textbook for Intro to Sociology class. This isn't the first intro sociology textbook I've read. I didn't agree with everything in the book, and I remember noting some mistakes that probably don't matter to anyone but me. On the upside, I like the way the information was presented. I'm not a big psyc/socio person, but this book made me talk about sociology. Not in class, just randomly to friends and family. I think that says a lot about this book. I wouldn't read it for fun, but it gives a very t..more

I was rather surprised how much I enjoyed this textbook and how much material was covered for an intro to sociology course. It was written in layman's terms which made it easy to understand and relatable. Glad my professor chose this book as the main text!

I read this for my own interest, because I try to figure out how human beings got in the overpopulated, planet-destroying mess we're in. It was interesting and I learned quite a bit. Here's the thing, though. In the chapters concerning environment, overpopulation and the planet's ability to feed all these swollen rivers of humans, industry, etc., there's no mention of CAFOS, or food grown for and fed to 'food' Animals, and how rain forests are being Pac-manned to grow these crops. Why? Oh, wait,..more
关于社会学的一本精美有趣的入门书籍，结合生动的实例解释互动论、功能论、冲突论等理论知识，很喜欢。

i thought this book was very interesting. Yes, it's a textbook, and it was assigned reading. but, quite frankly, i enjoyed it very much. i enjoyed reading the authors personal accounts, and he simplified everything for better understanding. however, trying to read a college textbook, maintain a social life, and still be in high school, forced me to lower the score. #sorryimnotsorry

Henslin's personal accounts throughout the chapters helped to illustrate the basic sociological concepts and themes. Well written textbook that is easy to read.

This was my sociology 100 text book. I don't remember much about it, but I also don't remember this class being abnormally hard.

“Arrests and convictions have increased at such a torrid pace that
the states and federal government haven’t been able to build prisons fast enough to hold
all of their incoming prisoners. To keep up, they hired corporations to operate private
prisons for them. About 130,000 prisoners are held in these “for-profit” prisons (Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics 2010:Table 6.32.2009). Actually, the United States
has even more prisoners than shown in Figure 6.2, since this total does not include jail
inmates. If we add them, the total comes to about 2.3 million people—about one out
of every 135 citizens. Not only does the United States have more prisoners than any
other country in the world but it also has a larger percentage of its population in prison
(Massoglia et al. 2013). Another way of putting this is that the United States has only
5 percent of the world’s population but about 25 percent of the world’s prisoners” — 0 likes
