In the Fourteenth Edition of Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, David Newman shows readers how to see the unfamiliar in the familiarto step back and see organization and predictability in their personal experiences. With his approachable writing style and lively anecdotes, the authors goal from the first edition has been the same: to write a textbook that reads like a real book. He uses the metaphors of architecture and construction to explain that society is not something that exists out there, independently; it is a human creation that is planned, maintained, or altered by individuals.
