In this brief edition of Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, David Newman shows students how to see the ‘unfamiliar in the familiar’—to step back and see predictability in their personal experiences. Through his approachable writing style and lively personal anecdotes, the author stays true to his goal of writing a textbook that ‘reads like a real book.’ Newman uses the metaphors of ‘architecture’ and ‘construction, ‘ to illustrate that society is a human creation that is planned, maintained, and altered by individuals. In the Seventh Edition of this bestseller, students can use the most updated statistical information combined with contemporary examples to explore the individual and society, the construction of self and society, and social inequality in the context of social structures. Included with this title: The password-protected Instructor Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all text-specific resources, including a test bank and editable, chapter-specific Power Point® slides.
