This unique and innovative text provides undergraduate students with tools to think sociologically through the lens of everyday life. Normative social organization and taken for granted beliefs and actions are exposed as key mechanisms of power and social inequality in western societies today. By unpacking the centre students are encouraged to turn their social worlds inside out and explore alternatives to the dominant social order.The text is divided into three parts. In Part One students learn how to use theory and methodology, which are blended seamlessly throughout the text. It shows how to position Michel Foucault as a companion to theorists such as Karl Marx and Stuart Hall, while signaling the importance of nonwestern and Indigenous knowledges, experiences, and rights. In Part Two, students explore and challenge normativity; the normal body, heterosexuality, whiteness, the twogender system, aging, and the underside of citizenship. In Part Three, shorter chapters critique everyday practices such as thinking scientifically, practicing selfhelp, going shopping, managing money, buying coffee, being a tourist, and marginalizing Indigeneity. Each chapter includes intriguing exercises, study questions, and key terms that link to the volumes comprehensive glossary. Instructors are provided PowerPoint slides, test banks, and multimodal supplementary resources that make the book adaptable to blended and online learning environments.Essaystyle lectures are also available to accompany the textbook.

Just finished reading this edition, and I’m impressed! It’s packed with practical tips that are easy to implement. The focus on everyday practices makes it relatable and actionable—definitely a worthwhile addition to my bookshelf!

Useful but a Bit Repetitive
The content is useful for making everyday practices more sustainable, but I found some sections repeated information from the first edition. Still, it's got some great insights and nice visuals that make it worthwhile for beginners.

Not What I Expected
I bought this book expecting more advanced strategies for sustainability, but it feels a bit basic. It’s not bad, just not what I was looking for. If you’re very new to the topic, it might be right for you, but I wanted something more in-depth.

Informative but Lacks Depth
While the book covers a lot of ground concerning everyday practices, I wish it went deeper into some topics. It's a good starting point, but I felt like I needed more technical details on certain practices. Still, it’s alright for those just starting out.

Great Resource for Daily Living
I got this second edition for my studies in environmental science, and it’s full of practical tips. The layout is easy to follow, and the real-world examples help connect the dots. Highly recommend for anyone looking to incorporate sustainable practices into their daily life!
