The Sociologically Examined Life: Pieces of the Conversation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a wonderful book for introducing undergraduate students to the philosophy of Sociology. Schwalbe's concept of "mindfulness" really grabs you. The concept is deceptively simple but extremely rich in its power to inspire the sociological imagination in students - and professors. Mindfulness ---- what a great idea!

Comprehensive Stress Management Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been teaching stress management at the undergraduate level for about three years now and find this book to be an excelent resource for undergraduates. It is very easy to read and gives a great deal of information about the practicle application of stress management techniques. Those who plan on teaching a course in stress management would be well advised to have a good deal of supplementary material on hand as this book is directed toward the intro student and is not informative enough to develop lectures from. This is one textbook that students consistantly give high ratings.
