Synopsis

Henslin's best-selling brief paperback text shares the excitement of sociology–its acclaimed “down-to-earth” approach and personal writing style highlight the sociology of everyday life and its relevance to students' lives. This text is a brief version of the highly regarded hardcover introductory text, Sociology: A Down-to-Earth Approach, 7/e. The essential 15 chapters cover all of the topics in the 22-chapter text, and retain the dual emphases on micro and macro (individual and structural) sociology. James Henslin has a unique ability to engage students without talking down to them or sacrificing content. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, he shares with readers a passion for sociology unmatched by any other introductory text.

October 04, 2007: This is the 4th different edition of 'Essentials of Sociology' that I have taught from since I've started teaching Introduction to Sociology in 2000 starting with the 3rd edition. The text is very informational, includes excellent statistics, great uses of examples, is easy but educational reading for the students. I've also taught from a couple of other sociology textbooks 'not by choice', and Mr. Henslin's textbook is the best by far. I've had numerous students comment over the years that this is by far one of the best textbooks that they've ever read.
