"I... really enjoyed reading the book. It gave lots of great examples, it was easy and fun to read, and I truly feel like I learned something by reading it. I also love the fact that it wasn't 3000 pages long and that it didn't cost 100 bucks! :)"

":However, The Engaged Sociologist is a text that is clear and really gets to the point. It gives you a ton of information in a concise way. The questions and activities throughout each chapter enable students to think beyond the information written. It really presents the subject matter in an understandable and effective way."
