Sociology - Tapa dura

"Macionis does a better job overall, compared to the other texts that I have seen." -Judi Kessler, Monmouth College "The author has written the book with the student in mind. The writing style is clear, straightforward and an abundance of interesting examples help maintain student interest." -Rudy Harris, Des Moines Area Community College "I surveyed my students, and they indicated the text was interesting, easy to read, well-organized, and had good current examples. They liked the charts and found the end-of-chapter review helpful." -Robert Atkins, North Seattle Community College "I don't think there is much room for improvement. I think it is an excellent text." -Robert Brainerd, Highland Community College
