- Summary
- "The Third Edition of Second Thoughts: Seeing Conventional Wisdom Through the Sociological Eye addresses the disparities that exist between conventional wisdom and social life.

This book illuminates how reviewing conventional wisdom with a sociological eye can lead to a more insightful understanding of social life."--BOOK JACKET.
