Everyday life is defined and characterized by the rise, transformation, and fall of social practices. With both accessible and challenging terminology, this book guides the reader through a multi-layered analysis of this dynamic process. It offers discussions on real examples such as the history of driving and the emergence of frozen food, bringing abstract concepts to life and anchoring them in empirical case studies as well as new research. The authors demonstrate the relevance of social theories to public policy issues and clarify that everyday life is the foundation of social transformation.
