Reviews
'Written for those who know little to nothing about sociology, the book presents sociological theory, theorists, and key terms and concepts while enticing readers with humor, illustrative stories, and sociological antidotes, producing a foundational level of understanding in sociology. Valuable to the most novice student as well as to the well-versed sociologist. Highly recommended' - Choice May 2011 'Sociology: The Basics is not only an excellent summary of the fundamental questions of sociology, but in fact is more, because it deeply expresses the author's personal way of doing sociology and of being a sociologist.' - Giuseppe Toscano, Journal of Symbolic Interaction, 2012 , 'Written for those who know little to nothing about sociology, the book presents sociological theory, theorists, and key terms and concepts while enticing readers with humor, illustrative stories, and sociological antidotes, producing a foundational level of understanding in sociology.
