Sleek and simple
It's a great introductory, it has a lot of important people, main points and terminology that you can further research. The ideas are simplified but not like over simplified so that it's easier to grasp and later search and explore more about. I also like it's sleek, simple design and visuals.

Breakdown of Social Control
Conspiracies of social control are prevalent on the internet with little peer reviewed sources. This Sociology Book breaks down various theories into a scientific explanation as to why societies behave the way they do. Underneath the propagated surface of American Consumerism lies a dirty underbelly of oppressed minority and even to include the vast majority in various degrees. By recognizing these issues the educated population can come to make informed decisions on social change. Be that as it may depending on social class and ideology your agenda may be opposed by the hierarchy of social and religious ideas. This book is an excellent text that when paired with philosophy, psychology, and economics sheds further light on the rules of the “system” and what power you have to change it.

Great book series!
We got our son all the books from this line - Sociology, psychology, economics, history, and philosophy. They are great and easy to follow with lots of graphs and pictures. Our son is a freshman in high school and has no problem following the chapters. Great for reference as well!

Maravilloso libro, no tan buena entrega.
El libro es genial, no tengo ninguna queja del mismo. Maneja temas complejos de forma muy accesible. Lo que no me gustó fue la entrega pues venia un poco doblado de la esquina inferior izquierda, de la parte de atrás del lomo. Pero bueno, lo dejé pasar porque lo compré a un muy buen precio.

Ha llegado a tiempo, como es en inglés, viene bien para mis clases bilingües de filosofía, psicología. Son muy buenos libros en general y muy amenos de leer. Recomendables para todos,desde adolescentes a mayores.

v sexy book, much recommend
it's just such a nice read. the graphics, illustrations, fonts, etc., all the aesthetic components are just as good as the theoretical knowledge inside the book. from the perspective of a high-schooler like me, this book is really engaging and illumnating. caveat: this book isn't and doesn't claim to be some sort of exhaustive, authoritative documentation of all the various paradigms, personalities, theories, etc., (even though it touches on most of them) under sociology. it's a pretty effective and engaging primer—an introduction to the vast discipline of sociology and i think it's a very good one at that. pick it up if socio's your thing; it certainly is mine! (little complaint: it's little too pricey.)
