Human Societies: An Introduction to Macrosociology

The book was in great condition and the shipping was fast and the price was great, thanks!

Although the basic structure and organization of the ninth edition of this text remain intact, no chapter is entirely unchanged in the present edition. While most of the changes to the first eight chapters are stylistic, a number of photos, figures, and tables have been added, dropped, or substantively changed throughout the text, and virtually all the data and long-term comparisons in the Chapters on industrial and indiustrializing societies (Chapters 9-16) have been updated or modified. Also, because of changes in formatting and organization, which helped to reduce the cost of this paperback edition to your students, the text is significantly shorter - it is now 429 pages, whereas the eighth edition was 479. These changes have altered the placement of figures, tables, and photos familiar to long-time users. There is also a new study guide, Studying Human Societies: A Primer and Guide, for this edition.Human societies has been used in over 100 of the best colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
