Summary: Something for Everyone in Henslin's Book!
Comment: I read this book because I loved my sociology textbook (also by Henslin) so much. (Yeah, I'm a dork.) While some of the articles in this book are a bit outdated as another reviewer pointed out, this book has something for everyone. From the classic essay on the "Saints" and the "Roughnecks" to the humorous description of how a "Nacirema" brushes his teeth (you WILL feel sheepish when you finish reading it!!!) to the account of a sociologist "posing" as homeless person for a week, there's got to be something in here you'll find interesting.
All these articles are written from completely unbiased points of view. I highly recommend this book for everyone! Anyone who is interested in sociology, culture, people, behvaior, or life in general will love it!!

Summary: a need to update by a decade or three
Comment: A very good book to read even if you are not a student.My only complaint is that some of this is extremely outdated,particularly the story of gangs,detailing teenage hoodlums, the"saints" etc.This had to have been written in the early 1960's.By current standards these kids were cub scouts.This book needs a more complete update to be useful to todays students
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book for intro students
Comment: This is an excellent book to introduce students into the real world of Sociology. Rather than focusing on theorists and their theories, Down to Earth Sociology focuses on real-life examples and situations in which the reader can relate. The articles are user-friendly, and fun to read. A recommendation for anyone interested in the world of Sociology.
