About this title

Review:

"The book's strength is its approach to all of the social sciences with power as the central and unifying theme." "Though I have considered other textbooks from time to time or considered using my own material, I have stuck with Dye. Compared to other books I have looked at on the market, I find that overall, Dye has a good balance of introductory and advanced material in a slim volume. I find that Dye overall provides a good foundation for my course." "The books strength is its approach to all of the social sciences with power as the central and unifying theme." "The bookas strength is its approach to all of the social sciences with power as the central and unifying theme." "I chose POWER AND SOCIETY because I generally like Dye's direct writing voice and the rhythm of his texts, and new college students are less likely to get lost in the jargon of the discipline. The main strengths of this text are the direct and readable tone of the book and the illustrations are timely and usually of interest to students. The organization of the text is logical and user friendly and students generally feel comfortable and confident in using it."
