And there is definitely a place for it in the sociology curriculum. There is a lot of non-boring stuff about good research design (especially when one asks respondents about their sexual and drug practices), a lot about social problems, health issues (of course), public policy and globalization. And the website is excellent as well, with a lot of resources that students can use. And Elizabeth is very accessible. I emailed her and she emailed right back. So, you can have students comment on her blog, or something like that. Good luck. Brad, it’s even better than you think, trust me. And there is definitely a place for it in the sociology curriculum.

I hadn't heard of it otherwise, and it looks interesting--I could see several uses of it in my sociology classes. Thanks for posting about this book.
