good book for sociology topics

Good book.

for sociology students ( )

I bought this mainly as a reference book for my writing as well as other topics. It was a near-new book and I paid less than $6.

But, that isn't the point.

The point is ... yes, this is a VERY boring book. But, educational and informative material usually is. This is definitely far beyond the Sociology I took in 10th grade back in the 1990's. But, this is a far more comprehensive view of that subject.

Once you get past the introductory chapters of what the subject is, the text book delves into a myriad of subjects:

** Culture and Society
** Socialization and the Life Cycle (encompassing child development and gender socialization)
** Social Interaction and Everyday Life in the Age of the Internet (a very useful and informative section)
** Conformity, Deviance, and Crime
** Stratification, Class, and Inequality
** Global Inequality
** Gender Inequality
** Ethnicity and Race
** Aging
** Government, Political Power, and Social Movements
** Work and Economic Life
** Families and Intimate Relationships
** Education and the Mass Media
** Religion in Modern Society (encompassing World religion, gender and religion)
** Sociology of the Body: Health, Illness, and Sexuality
** Urbanization, Population, and the Environment
** Globalization in a Changing World

Boring, but educational and informative. Some of the material covered is especially relevant to today's times. ( )
