Recenzii

Rousseau has written the clearest and most direct introduction to sociology this reviewer has read since beginning higher education in 1979. The author introduces more classic and contemporary sociologists than most introductory texts, and his writing style is interesting and understandable for any level of student. Within the descriptions of social institutions, processes, and theories, Rousseau provides relevant and interesting examples that should increase the understanding of readers. He is able to combine the works of the founders of sociology with later works, including postmodernism and liquid theory, among others. The book's list of sources is outstanding and thorough, a special strength that avoids promoting a preference for one perspective over another, a habit of many contemporary authors. Rousseau allows readers to select their own preferences . . . [A]ll academicians should explore this concise, outstanding work. Summing Up: Essential. All levels/libraries.
Society Explained is an extremely close examination of some of the most important and determinant elements of society. It is not the typical hybrid of an introduction to sociology and social problems. Rather than attempting the impossible inclusiveness of traditional introductory texts, Rousseau drills down on the essentials. Absolutely recommended.
Society Explained provides an historical slant on introduction to sociology, yet is also personal, applicable, and accessible. It's an attractive option for instructors seeking an alternative to conventional textbooks. Rather than a collection of stand-alone chapters, the topics flow nicely and concepts build on each other. The book is clearly written, with an engaging style.
With inviting prose and personal anecdotes, Rousseau gives students more than an introduction to sociology-he gives an introduction to a sociological way of thinking about themselves.
