Sociology, Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life: Readings underscores the "architecture" of social life--how we, as social beings, are always building and rebuilding our social environment. This anthology includes a range of styles and examples that reflect common experiences and phenomena; important social issues and problems; the relationship between the individual and society; and a sociological perspective on specific historic events. Each set of readings, organized around a specific theme, is preceded by an introduction that provides a sociological context and followed by a set of discussion questions.

The new Eleventh Edition includes several new readings that convey the best in critical contemporary sociology with an eye toward current social issues such as women's incarceration; immigration issues in families; transgender experiences; and links between poverty, race and crime, social class and achievement, government corruption, college and dating life, teen sexuality, LGBTQ social movements, and Black Lives Matter.
