Text of Note

With his approachable writing style and lively personal anecdotes, David M. Newman shows students how to see the "unfamiliar in the familiar" -- to step back and see organization and predictability in their taken-for-granted personal experiences. Newman uses the metaphors of "architecture" and "construction" to help students understand that society is not something that just exists "out there," independently of themselves; it is a human creation that is planned, maintained, or altered by individuals. Using vivid prose, examples from current events, and even the latest research findings, this fully updated Twelfth Edition presents a unique and thought-provoking overview of how society is constructed and experienced. -- From publisher's description.
