Summary

Combining original essays with others from the 20th anniversary issue of Qualitative Sociology (Vol. 4, 1997), this volume features 31 sociologists with diverse interests sharing how their sociological studies inform their "earn as you learn" quotidian experiences and vice versa. Analyses revolve around public places, family spaces, interior spaces, and workplaces. Representative topics from each realm include: ubiquitous warnings ("Enough already!"); (re)production of social class: living beyond elementary school; the pleasures of boredom; and qualitative sociology and good journalism as demystifiers. No index. Paper edition (unseen) $29.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
