Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, Brief

Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, Brief Edition

In the Brief,Â Fourth EditionÂ ofÂ Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, David Newman once again shows students how to see the â€œunfamiliar in the familiarâ€â€”to step back and see organization and predictability in their take-for-granted personal experiences. With his approachable writing style and lively personal anecdotes, the authorâ€™s goal from the first edition has been the same: to write a textbook that â€œreads like a real book.â€ He uses the metaphors of â€œarchitectureâ€ and â€œconstruction,â€ to help students understand that society is not something that exists â€œout there,â€ independently of themselves; it is a human creation that is planned, maintained, or altered by individuals. Using vivid prose, current examples, and fresh data, this text presents a unique and thought-provoking overview of how society is constructed and experienced.
