"'This is a well-written and carefully researched book that never panders to students, but also does not lose them with too much complexity.' Peter Kivisto, Augustana College"

'This is a well-written and carefully researched book that never panders to students, but also does not lose them with too much complexity.'
Peter Kivisto, Augustana College

Human Societies is written for today's students who are confronted by a rapidly changing world. It differs greatly from most texts for the introductory sociology course, being neither an eclectic, encyclopedia-like collection of materials nor a limited survey of contemporary American society. By introducing students to the broad range of human experience from the Stone Age to the present, it enables them to see their own world in a new light and a new perspective, and helps to prepare them for the many changes and challenges they will face in the years ahead. This classic text, currently in its 9th edition, is now available for the first time in an inexpensive paperback edition.
