Roger Nemeth, Hope College   "My students tell me that they love the varied scenarios Henslin provides in the book."  Kristie Palmer, Richland Community College    "Henslin begins each chapter with an interesting vignette.  The text is accessible and easy to read." Lucy Ogburn, Middlesex Community College   "Henslin offers an introduction to research and his heavy inclusion of research shows its importance.  He does this at just the right level." Jan Poppendieck, City University of New York, Hunter College   "I appreciate Henslin's balanced theoretical approach, good topic coverage, and that the book is very readable." Derral Cheatwood, University of Texas, San Antonio   "The boxed features in Henslin often explore controversial issues that generate great on-line discussions among my distance learning students." Kristie Palmer, Richland Community College   "The boxed examples in Henslin add a new dimension to the course.  He truly has a down-to-earth approach." Sue Dowden, El Camino College   "Students like this book because the reading level is just right, the examples are relevant, and the strong visuals keep them interested.  My students also like [Henslin's] accounts of his many travels; they give the book a global feel."  Romana Pires, San Bernadino Valley College, "Henslin hooks students on learning about the world around them, and suggests they seek answers to the question 'Why should I care?""

Romana Pires, San Bernadino Valley College, Every edition, we ask professors to keep a Henslin user diary for 1 semester. For the 8th edition, six reviewers participated in this diary review, recording their experiences over the Fall 2006 semester. Below are some comments from users' diaries.   "I believe the format of [Henslin], including the excellent graphics,Thinking Criticallyand other boxed information, is especially approachable and helpful." Christina Alexander, Linfield College   "The examples from various elements of the social world to emphasize theories and concepts are very well chosen, as is the research used in supporting and explaining sociological concepts." Christina Alexander, Linfield College   "Henslin's text, is more assessable to entry level sociology students.  The wording is understandable and the presentation more engaging."  Larry Curiel, Cypress College   "I started to use the Henslin's textbook this semester, and am very pleased with it. It is an honor for me to write a review for this textbook as I think that this is one of the best introductory sociology texts on the market."  Darina Lepadtu, Kennesaw State University   "The textbook [Henslin] does not teach only how to apply the three main theoretical perspectives to the understanding of social issues, but also presents the latest research findings in the field as well as sensational facts/ stories and visual aids that manage to spark students' interest."  Darina Lepadtu, Kennesaw State University   "Most of all, my students liked the 'down-to-earth' approach of the textbook. They enjoyed the stories and pictures of real people and especially that the author was willing to share his personal experiences with the students. They loved that this text presents not only theories and statistics, but also real life situations. Students also appreciated that the author 'does not talk down to us' (quote)." Darina Lepadtu, Kennesaw State University   "'A down-to-earth approach' (especially the style of presentation and 'personalized' examples provided in a form of a narrative) is very appealing to me, and student find it engaging." Arunas Juska, East Carolina University   "In my opinion, the textbook is well written, accessible to students, and engaging.  I am planning to continue using it in the future."  Arunas Juska, East Carolina University   "My web students have been more vocal about the text, and I expect it's because they are actually forced to read it in order to pass the class.  I have not heard any negative comments, in fact many students have found the text informative and enjoyable to read."  Rachel Stehle, Cuyahoga Community College

    I highly recommend this seller! My package arrived on time and it was protected with bubble wrap. It came as described and I think the price was very reasonable, considering the product was around that price when it came out. Overall, very satisfied with my purchase.
