Adapted from Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, 11th edition, David Newman’s goal is the same for this briefer, stream-lined version: to write a textbook that “”reads like a real book.”” The author shows students how to see the “unfamiliar in the familiar”—to step back and see organization and predictability in their take-for-granted personal experiences in Sociology: Exploring the Archicture of Everyday Life: Brief, 5th edition. Newman uses the metaphors of “architecture” and “construction,” to help students understand that society is not something that exists “out there,” independently of themselves; it is a human creation that is planned, maintained, or altered by individuals. Instead of surveying every subfield in sociology, the more streamlined coverage focuses on the individual and society, the construction of self and society, and social inequality in the context of social structures.
