In this briefer, less expensive edition of his acclaimed sociology text, David M. Newman invites students into the world of sociological thought using a captivating writing style, compelling new examples, and a focus on the sociology of everyday life. This briefer version of Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life is streamlined while still exposing students to the key points of Newman′s proven text. In his signature style, Newman shows students the two-way connection between the most private elements of their lives and the cultures, groups, organizations, and social institutions of today′s society.
I liked reading this text because I found all of the examples and stories easy to understand and easy to apply to sociology concepts. Also easy to skim and pick out the important information.
