(Hardback)

Addressing the question that how can we listen more carefully, this book shows how sociology is in a position to record 'life passed in living' and to listen to complex experiences with humility and ethical care, providing a resource to understand the contemporary world.

(Paperback)

This title argues that this way of life is having severe and damaging consequences in a world that is increasingly globalized and interconnected.
