Excellent Book, would have been great if it included readings on Terrorist (which is a huge factor now). However, I did not receive an access number for the sociolab.

This book was accuratly represented, the seller was ontop of things as far as communication and sending of the book. The book itself.. ah, well written, interesting material. I just had to buy it for a class.. Not in my subject area. So, for what it's worth. It's a good book! Just something i would have never bought if i didn't have to.

We used this book in one of my college Sociology classes and it is by far, the Best textbook I've encountered thus far in my college career! You will be amazed at how much this book will teach you about People, Society and Life! It is easy to follow - Kudos to the author for his outstanding writing style! When you sit down to read a chapter in this book, you're done before you know it because it's all just too interesting to put down! I even found myself reading through the chapters that were not assigned! Even if you're not a sociology student, you will LOVE this book! I want my whole family to read it!
