Publisher's Note To read a sample chapter from Sociology, Readings click on "Additional Materials" in the left column under "About This Book" or simply click here. One of the most popular anthologies used in introductory sociology courses has been updated and revised to offer students an innovative sociological perspective on their everyday lives. The Fifth Edition of Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life Readings continues to provide students with vivid, provocative, and eye-opening examples of the practice of sociology. The readings represent a variety of styles and include articles written by psychologists, anthropologists, social commentators, and journalists, in addition to sociologists. Many of the readings are drawn from carefully conducted social research, while others are personal narratives that put human faces on matters of sociological relevance. New to the Fifth Edition: * The number of articles has been streamlined from 38 to 32, including 9 that are new to this edition. * The importance of race, social class, and gender in people's everyday lives is emphasized. * The Thinking About the Reading review feature has been revised and added to all articles in the book. Editors David M. Newman and Jodi O'Brien provide brief chapter introductions that offer a sociological context for the readings in each chapter. For those using the accompanying textbook, these introductions will furnish a quick intellectual link between the readings and information in the textbook.
