Synopsis :

In this new, revised, and updated edition, Lemert continues the narrative that made Social Things a best seller among sociologists and a favorite among students. In an entirely new chapter, he opens the sociological imagination to new global realities - a topic much debated by sociologists today. What they and politicians call globalization is lived by people all over the world who seek and often fail to find a better life. The new chapter, called Global Methods, shows just how both practical and professional sociologies - apart from sharing so much in common - share also the necessity of rethinking the methods by which people figure out what globalization means in their lives.

Présentation de l'éditeur: In fifteen years, Charles Lemert's Social Things has become a much-loved modern classic among teachers, students, and many other readers. It introduces the sociological imagination through lively, memorable stories and interpretations. This fifth edition celebrates the book's fifteenth anniversary with important updates, an entirely new chapter that addresses the environmental challenges in our global world and many additions that bring the history of sociology up-to-date.
