Dear Gentle Students and Gentle Colleagues:

Thanks for visiting our site. We operate web sites for both SOCIOLOGY and the brief version of the text, SOCIETY: THE BASICS. These sites are intended primarily as study resources for sociology students, although they offer material of interest to instructors and, for that matter, anyone who shares a fascination for the study of human society!

Each of the sites is organized by chapter of the text. For each chapter, you may select a number of options: chapter objectives, self-grading multiple-choice and true-false tests, essay questions, a message board feature, and suggested excursions to other web destinations on a host of related topics.

If you would like to send a message directly to me, click here. I will be happy to read your thoughts and suggestions about either the text or the site.

Thanks, in advance, for your interest and support!

John Macionis
