Review Quotes:
"With a remarkable gift for storytelling, the authors show us how the things we use reflect the conflict between our private lives and the public issues structuring them. After reading this book, it will be impossible to see a marketing campaign or a PR event in quite the same way. I can't wait to teach Introducing Sociology Using the Stuff of Everyday Life in my classroom!"
Frederick F. Wherry, The Townsend Martin Class of 1917 Professor of Sociology, Princeton University and Director of Debt Collection Lab
"One of the reasons I love this textbook, and students do too: it's really applicable and up to date with their everyday lives. By using the objects of everyday life the book makes sociological topics accessible and easy to understand, and shows the applicability of methods and theory throughout - it shows students not only how to think but also how to practice sociology. I will definitely continue to use this book as long as I teach Introduction to Sociology."
Meredith Katz, Associate Professor of Sociology, Virginia Commonwealth University
