Book review: Sociology The Study of Human Relationships

Abstract

This book is one of the latest in what appears to be a new influx of elementary texts in the social sciences. Specifically oriented to sociology, the author does a superior job of accomplishing his stated mission of providing "an introduction to sociology, not a summary of sociology." The elementary student is presented with a coherent treatment of important sociological subject-matters in which he learns without being confused by the welter of detailed argument and counter-argument about things only vaguely perceived or unimportant which decorates so many textbooks in social science
