The “untextbook” that teaches students to think like a sociologist, now available in a core edition.

You May Ask Yourself gives instructors an alternative to the typical textbook by emphasizing the “big ideas” of the discipline, and encouraging students to ask meaningful questions. Conley employs a “non-textbook” strategy of explaining complex concepts through personal examples and storytelling, and integrates coverage of social inequality throughout the text.

Review:
“For once, I was actually excited about reading a textbook. It seemed as if the author was talking directly to me at times.”
- LaToya, social work major, SUNY Brockport

“It was like reading magazines with images of my favorite actors and politicians. I loved looking at the book and reading it.”
- Abigail, nursing major, Queensborough Community College

“Honestly, I loved this book. It was so much more interesting that the other assigned readings, and reading You May Ask Yourself was the only assignment I always had done.”
- Melissa, sociology major, University of Pennsylvania
