Synopsis

You May Ask Yourself gives instructors an alternative to the typical textbook by emphasizing the big ideas of the discipline and encouraging students to ask meaningful questions. This non-textbook strategy explains complex concepts through personal examples and storytelling, integrates coverage of social inequality throughout the textbook, and offers the largest collection of instructor resources for a book in its price range.

Review

Honestly, I loved this book. It was so much more interesting than the other assigned readings, and reading You May Ask Yourself was the only assignment I always had done. --Melissa, sociology major, University of Pennsylvania"

For once, I was actually excited about reading a textbook. It seemed as if the author was talking directly to me at times.--LaToya, social work major, SUNY Brockport
