More Information
Summary:The significance of mindfulness is gracefully threaded through chapters that examine a well-crafted set of topics: social construction of reality, socialization, interaction, causality, power, inequality, patterns of social life, presentation of self in media and images, and the study of social life. In the final chapter, "Studying and Changing the Social World," which might be more useful earlier in the conversation, the author could deal more with the qualitative versus quantitative morass and still stay within the rubric of the book. [...]examples occasionally border on redundancy, something that should be anticipated in assigning various chapters.
