This book explains things in the most complex way with few examples to go with the difficult definitions. Some examples do not even fit their definitions - I honestly think these were missed because the editor was so bored reading this book. There is no glossary and the index is missing a lot. I love sociology - half of the books in my library are sociology books including two other introductory sociology textbooks, but, because it takes so much time to decipher what is being said, I look forward to reading The Core like I look forward to a gum scraping.
Good deal to rent instead of buying and having another used text book around. Very complex writing so I wasn't in love with this text and nor did enjoy it's content but then again I, yawn, am not a huge fan of sociology.
The condition of the book was great, but this book has so many grammar and spelling errors I can't imagined how it got published. Many student in the class agreed that it was hard to ready the book and fully understand it. Other than that amazing did a great job shipping on time and the book was in good condition
As expected from a rental book, it may be a little worn out and torn at parts, but it's still usable for a textbook. I definitely recommend renting the textbook if you're only going to use it for one semester.
It was brand new, just as it states, it was almost in perfect condition, hence why I didnt give it 5 stars... The front cover was a bit bent, I have OCD when it comes to books, the covers must be in perfect condition. It was bent in the front cover, I guess that was just because of being in the warehouse or something..but other than that its a great buy! :)
I received the book within a week and it was brand new. They provided you with the shipping labels with made the return much easier. I would rent from them again
This book has a LOT of writing and underlining in it. I really wish I had known that before I purchased it. It's extremely distracting while reading.
used in my class, was very good and well organized. Easily referenced. Updated materials, so case studies were actually in this "time zone".
