The best introductory sociology textbook on the market and its accompanying reader are also available at an affordable package price!
David M. Newman′s Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, Sixth Edition does what no other introductory sociology textbook has it shows students how sociology is woven into their everyday lives and does so in a readable, friendly style.
Edited by David M. Newman and Jodi O′Brien, the anthology that accompanies the text, Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, Readings , has been one of the most popular collected works used in introductory sociology courses. The carefully chosen articles have proven to be relevant, fresh, and interesting to students, while introducing them to the sociological perspective.
I liked reading this text because I found all of the examples and stories easy to understand and easy to apply to sociology concepts. Also easy to skim and pick out the important information.
