Richard T. Schaefer's "Sociology Matters" is a concise introduction to the discipline of sociology. Its straightforward style, streamlined design, and highly focused coverage make it the perfect affordable, ultra brief, introductory text for instructors who use a variety of materials in their course.
This book is also for my sociology class. I found this book to be informative and easy to read. The author wrote it in such a way that it is very easy to understand and not get lost.
Sociology Matters is the type of book you would want to keep on your bookshelf for future reading and to refer back to.
