If you are taking Ms. Even's class at South College... DON'T BYE THIS BOOK! You don't need it. We looked at it once! Everything you need to know is written on the board.

The new addition by Brinkerhoff et. al., though it provides the basics for teaching introduction to Sociology and by far one of the best texts available, is more efficient, but sacrifices much needed information. The recent edition deletes a chapter and attempts to incorparate issues of poverty and inequality in the other chapters, but this really needs to be its own chapter, so I would recommend that they reintroduce it in future editions. Furthermore, their population and urban discusion is good, but its environmental discusion is weak. They really need to add a stronger environmental piece. Furthermore, I really thought that their section on religion was much better in the previous edition. Students had a much easier time grasping concepts. The authors redid this section and now the distinct sects and subsects are unclear. Finally, I would recommend that if you use this book that you find supplemental material on social stratification, social inequality and social differentiation because the book does a poor job discussing the differences. I also would recommend supplemental materials to discuss the race and ethnicity chapter because its discusion on ideological racism and its history is weak.
Despite my minor critiques, I still would hightly recommend this book.
