Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-28 00:00:00 Robert Fischer Love superstitions always have.I suppose i got it from my grandfather,a very superstitious man.He kept a rabbit foot in one pocket for luck and a potato in another pocket to ward off rheumatism.Well one day he stepped off the pavement to avoid walking under a ladder and was hit by a car.The funeral service was quite moving.Sorry i digress this is a great book for those who want to know the origins of superstitions.A very good read.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-14 00:00:00 Deidre Doherty I guess it was ok as a school textbook, but right now I felt like the book had a lot of common sense ideas. The focus countries for each chapter are nice, but sometimes it lacked the global perspective that sociology textbook needs. Overall, it is a nice introduction book to sociology, but if you want some new information, it probably would not attract your attention.
