A student with no background will definitely benefit from the depth and breadth of the material presented here." Dr. Dan Muhwezi, Butler County Community College "This is an excellent text. The background of the information given and the diversity of the groups covered should help the professor engage the student in areas many texts have failed or are scared to cover." Dr. Dan Muhwezi, Butler County Community College "This text covers all the topics necessary in the course for which it is designed. For this reason, I have loyally used this text since beginning teaching in 1999." Dr. Beverly L. Stiles, Midwestern State University "I couldn't be happier with the development and comprehensiveness of the chapters and topics in this text." Dr. Beverly L. Stiles, Midwestern State University "This text is written at an appropriate college level. I don't teach down to my students, so I appreciate it when authors don't write down to them either." Dr. Beverly L. Stiles, Midwestern State University "I found the book very interesting as it includes detail and research not commonly found in the texts I use." Nita Jackson, Butler Community College "The authors have gone to a tremendous amount of work with the incorporation of so many research studies. I also applaud the way race and diversity is a theme through the book." Nita Jackson, Butler Community College "Teachability" of Text "I love to challenge my students to think outside the box. When trying to do this, often students think that you're giving them too much 'opinion.' I like that this text includes those debating topics because this makes my task much easier in terms of bringing up controversial issues." Dr. Beverly L. Stiles, Midwestern State University Diversity and Gender "An aspect of the Schwartz and Scott text that I find pleasing is that they bring in issues of gender and minorities throughout their text rather than placing this material solely in a single chapter (although there is a chapter devoted to gender, which is excellent!)." Dr. Beverly L. Stiles, Midwestern State University Examples, Analogies, Pedagogy "The examples used in regard to sex and sexuality were particularly good. I am comfortable pushing introductory students beyond 'safe' levels, so the edgy examples and analogies are appropriate and, General Thoughts "The text is next to none in terms of the great length the authors have made to incorporate sociological concepts.

I am comfortable pushing introductory students beyond 'safe' levels, so the edgy examples and analogies are appropriate and may even generate some authentic interest for students." Heidi Goar, Inver Hills Community College "Hurray for finding a student study guide available. Why are they so scarce anymore? My students like and need the over-leaning that takes place in a study guide; gifted students can ignore them, so everyone wins." Dr. Barbara J. Miller, Pasadena City College "I really like the 'Myths about Violence and Abuse' section [starting on page 366]. The style here listing myths and facts really stands out in the text. I think this would appeal to students." Nita Jackson, Butler Community College Qualitative Concerns "The text is accurate and solid on the issues it covers."
