You May Ask Yourself: An Introduction to Thinking Like a Sociologist Fourth Edition

Had to use this Textbook for a Sociology 101 Class. This has to be one of the most unique textbooks I have ever read, and one of my most enjoyable too! The text was easy to comprehend, Dalton Conley is very articulate as an author, and I especially enjoyed his commentary on capitalism and gender. I also enjoyed how colorful the textbook is; there are many pictures, and helpful hints that make sure you have grasped the sociological concept that Conley is trying to bring across, with helpful "quiz-like" questions at the end of each chapter to make sure that you are on track to progress! There are also online resources for this book, which our teacher took advantage of immensely. i recommend that you do the same, as they helped reinforce my knowledge of prominent people in the study of sociology, and also to help me ace my exams in class. This is seriously the best "Un-Textbook" that I have ever read.

An interactive, enjoyable read. Textbook for my sociology class but I like reading it just for fun too :) Interesting & well-written.

I like how this book is put together. the little drawings with the 3d glasses are an interesting way to explain sociology. There is a companion website my instructor gave us that goes along nicely with this. we havent scratched the card and likely wont so i cant say much on that.here is the website if you wanna use it: wwnorton .com /college/soc/conley3/full/ch/01/outline .aspx

Intuitively written, keeps things interesting and provides plenty of real-life examples to make material relateable to reader.

Good book and information. I only rented it, but I am thinking of purchasing it because it is good information to have

Personally I am not a big fan of Sociology but for my Soc 100 I had to read it. The book made it easier to understand to topic surrounding the study of society and helped me pass the class

Na

DO NOT RENT THIS BOOK!!! unless of course you're fine with paying this price for a book that doesn't have all the content you may need. I tried to take an accelerated (half a semester) online sociology course with this book and nearly failed. It only goes to chapter 10. I blame Amazon 100% for this misunderstanding. Otherwise I'm sure this is a great book. The chapters I did get to read were actually very interesting and enlightening. Dalton Conley knows what he's talking about, and I'm sad I have to give this such a low rating.
