Down-to-Earth Approach Adapted from Henslin’s best-selling comprehensive text,Core Conceptsprovides in-depth coverage of ten high-priority topics that are the foundation of many introductory sociology courses. This unique paperback offers a concise and economical format without sacrificing depth of coverage. Unlike a “brief” or “essentials” text, the ten chapters that make upCore Conceptsare not edited down from a longer book. Instead, they provide full coverage of those topics that instructors emphasize the most in a one-semester or one-term introductory sociology course. Like Henslin’s other texts, it features the author's familiar “down-to-earth” approach and personal writing style that highlight the sociology of everyday life. With wit, personal reflection, and illuminating examples, Henslin shares with readers a passion for sociology unmatched by any other introductory text.… (more)

I read this for my own interest, because I try to figure out how human beings got in the overpopulated, planet-destroying mess we're in. It was interesting and I learned quite a bit. Here's the thing, though. In the chapters concerning environment, overpopulation and the planet's ability to feed all these swollen rivers of humans, industry, etc., there's no mention of CAFOS, or food grown for and fed to "food" Animals, and how rain forests are being Pac-manned to grow these crops. Why? Oh, wait, we're not supposed to know about these things. That's right. ( )
