About this product
Product Information
When it comes to Sociology, "seeing" is indeed believing. In Sociological Snapshots 4: Seeing Social Structure and Change in Everyday Life, Jack Levin bridges the gap between sociological theorizing and everyday experiences by developing students ability to "see" sociology via "snapshots" of culture and social structure. Unlike other basic readers, this book contains a set of informal essays with topics ranging from elevator culture to domestic terrorism, from fads to the Washington, D.C., snipers. In a simple and entertaining style, this book continues to link everyday experiences to foundational concepts and concerns and analyze data about social reality.

"Overall this is a very strong reader. The essays are general enough to be moved around providing the instructor with the flexibility to build the course the way s/he desires. The text is very readable and the essays are interesting to students also the essays within are relatively brief. All helps avoid the 'textbook dread' that some students bring to an Introductory course. The strong application of ideas within the readings helps illustrate the points made in lecture and the relatively low cost of the text makes it even more 'student friendly'." , SOverall this is a very strong reader.
