This review is from: Sociology (Paperback) (13th Edition) (Paperback)
I'll first say that I am 42 years old and I am finally finishing my degree after many years away. I imagine because of this that I found many of the examples in the book to be simplistic and geared towards what they think a young barely-adult student might be interested in. The book is filled with large, colorful pictures of rock stars and models. It could probably be half as large if they cut out all the meaningless photos. They have "stories" you read to understand issues, but these stories are often set up between fairly inane students who are being snide to each other. The stereotype is a little heavy.

There are certainly interesting issues covered. They explain that when you try to survey a group of people to find out how they feel, the very act of you surveying them may affect their answers. The group can be biased by how you ask the questions. Statistics can be manipulated and packaged to be misleading. The book is trying to get you to think critically about issues and to evaluate them - even when it comes to this very book. Everything is open to interpretation.

But amongst the quite useful foundation information are entire pages on symbols used in instant messaging, pictures of American Idol contestants, and pictures of Spider-Man. I really don't think the use of the pages for this content was worth the extremely high price I paid for the textbook. I'd rather have half the textbook, pay half as much, and learn the same information...

Now THAT is cool. Now Haley is showing up in sociology text books.

Call me pedantic (?) but, why does it make me sad that someone tweeting about a textbook in school, spells the contraction for 'you are', 'your'?

I see it so often now, especially on twitter, that I would not be surprised if it becomes an accepted part of the American language in the future for no reason other than it takes too much effort to correct....

I think that comes from ignorance or laziness. Some know the difference but it's easier to type "your" when texting and it saves characters when on Twitter. Then it becomes a habit. It's the only error I have seen Haley make with regularity. She turned the corner in these two recent tweets.

The Kent's are friends of ours! My son played on the Park District football team with Joey Kent and also went to school with Haley Reinhart - she was class of '09, my son was class of '07.
