Sociology: A Down-To-Earth Approach (13th Edition)

I saved a bunch of money--not by switching to Geico--but by taking advantage of Amazon's Textbook Rental program. College online offers etextbooks but I'm old(er) and I like to physically hold and read books. I can flip back and forth easily for information and when I am taking a 4 hour final, I need quick, visual information that only a real book can provide. Whining aside, $29.00 to rent as opposed to $190.00 to buy is a remarkable deal. Oh, and the book was really good too. I enjoyed reading it.

Nice and Clean, I rented it and the book gives a lot of good information in every chapter. It even gives a short summary on some sections of each chapter, that way you could have a better understanding on that section.

Used this for a college class. I really enjoyed the class.

Didn’t even use the book for the class smh

Loose leaf book, came on time, in good condition! Saved me from spending much more for a book that wouldn't have arrived in time for my class!

Came in great shape and was WAY cheaper than what my campus' bookstore was charging. Would definitely get another one. Unfortunately I've only used the book twice despite the professor insisting that the book was integral to the course. Go figure.

Bought this textbook for college, it does a good job of teaching sociology from a decidedly leftist point of view. This is typical of most college textbooks however, and it follows the narrative so I am giving it three stars. If this book could give both sides of even one issue, I would be fine with it but it writes every single chapter to specifically attack Western civilization. On page 159, Henslin compares American treatment of al-Qaeda terrorists to the Holocaust. A paragraph later, describes the beating of a terrorist in Guantanamo, and finishes with the quote "Shades of the Nazis!" The exclamation mark is his, not mine. At least I only had to pay 60 bucks for it, other textbooks can run upwards of 200. If you like Marxist propaganda, this book is for you.

Needed this for one of my prerequisites
