In the Fourteenth 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 organization and
predictability in their take-for-granted personal experiences. With
his approachable writing style and lively anecdotes, the author’s
goal from the first edition has been the same: to write a textbook
that "reads like a real book." Many adopters of this book are fans of
Peter Berger′s classic works, which helped introduce the idea of
"social constructionism" to sociology. 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. Using vivid prose, current examples, and fresh
data, this text presents a unique and thought-provoking overview of
how society is constructed and experienced. Instead of surveying every
subfield in sociology, the more streamlined coverage (14 chapters)
focuses on the individual and society, the construction of self and
society, and social inequality in the context of social structures.
