SynopsisThe Practical Skeptic: Readings in Sociology includes classic sociological research writings as well as recent pieces on fascinating topics of interest to students. It is the ideal companion to McIntyre's text, The Practical Skeptic: Core Concepts in Sociology , or other sociology texts. Readings in this edition challenge students to re-evaluate familiar social arenas: the college classroom, televised sports shows, restaurants, doctors' offices and even public restrooms. The readings focus around the essential message that there is much that goes on in the social world that escapes the sociologically untrained eye.

  • Better than I expected!

    When I ordered the book I hadn't noticed the notes on its condition. Honestly I thought I messed up and thought I'd end up having to find another book but this book is excellent. Yes it's a little bent and has highlighting but it's perfectly readable and usable. Not to mention the price was far less than I had seen any where else. Thank you soo much!!
