Society: The Basics (13th Edition)

I bought this book for my sociology class and kept it after the class was over. There is some good reading in this book and I would recommend buying this book not only for class but for some socioeconomic topics as well.

Before I bought this book for Sociology class I had read a review from here where the poster thought the author was discriminatory. I can see that in hints of the book. It is not a bad book, but it's not a book you just gotta have either. Some of the things he discusses is common sense and if you take notes in the class you probably won't have need for it. But back to those "hints", the author will make comments in the book about upper class people being white and so forth. Well we all know there are many upper class people of nonwhite class and the author could have kept that comment anyway.

this book was advertised as very good condition. When I received the book the back cover is ripped and there is a lot of writing and highlighting in the book. If I did not immediately need this book for my class I would return it. You can be sure I will never order from this person again.

A very good and easy book to read and understand. Very little difference if any between the old version and the new one. They both have/offer the same information, the print, however, could be a tad larger. I have enjoyed using it in my sociology class.
