This readable text provides a foundation for beginning students of sociology. It examines nine levels of social organization, from family to society, and relates each one to students' own everyday experiences. The book provides a lens through which students can understand and explain human behavior, and discusses how each of the nine areas of social organization/social context can be used to understand human phenomena. Current research is integrated throughout the text, with discussions contrasting popular beliefs with empirical research. The writing style and straightforward yet detailed presentation (as well as the reasonable price) will be accessible to most students. Zusman teaches sociology at Indiana University Northwest.
