Críticas

Conley's text has filled an important niche for the community college needs. It is affordable, readable, colorful, and yet has fewer pages to read, which is an important consideration for my beginning-level community college students, and has examples that my young students can relate to.--Sharon Warner Methvin, Mt. Hood Community College Hip, splashy, youthful, concise, emotive, provocative, unpretentious, sharp, with a fresh take on the issues.--Jennifer Schultz, The University of Arizona Your students will be captured by Conley's conversational style and drawn into reading the text before they know what hit them. Conley provides a thorough discussion of theory with relevant past and contemporary examples. Further, he challenges the students to question what they've taken for granted most of their lives.--Cheryl Maes, University of Nevada, Reno Rather than bombarding students with lots of statistics, Dalton Conley seems more concerned with getting the 'big ideas' of the discipline across, and to encourage them to ask meaningful questions.--Michael Nofz, University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac You May Ask Yourself represents a departure from the typical cookie-cutter approach that characterizes most introductory texts. The best sociology textbooks read like storybooks, and students are actually interested in doing the readings. This book has the potential for approaching that standard.--Ralph Pyle, Michigan State University
