Satisfied Reader

Society: The basics is a very interesting textbook, full of up-to-date pictures, graphs, and demographics dealing with the subject material. Personally, I hate reading textbooks, but this book is one that can be read and understood. I don't have to re-read pages at all to comprehend information. However, this book is a textbook. If I wouldn't have needed it for my sociology class, I probably never would have read it. But overall, the book is very good and very interesting.

I bought this as a text book for college. I am half way done with the book, but it can say with confidence it is a very well written book. A lot of pictures as well which does a good job of balancing out the text of the book. This is a must have for anyone studying Sociology
