Ordering Lives: Family, Work and Welfare: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ordering Lives: Family, Work and Welfare" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Taking as its focus three familiar and profoundly influential social institutions, the family, work and welfare, this accessible and exciting text looks at their role in maintaining social order and promoting social change in Britain from the 1950s to the beginning of the twenty first century. It shows how everyday life within these institutions is marked by the exercise of power and resistance and it charts the ways in which wider social change has affected these processes. Ordering Lives: Family, Work and Welfare engages with some of the most pressing issues affecting our society in a lively yet academically rigorous manner. At the same time, it offers students of the social sciences a crucial first introduction to the way that theory is used in social science explanations of social relations and institutional arrangements. This is a key introductory text for all students beginning study in sociology, social policy or general social sciences. Does it any longer make sense to talk about a welfare state in todays UK?

Series preface
Ordering Lives: Family, Work and Welfare is the third in a series of five books, entitled An Introduction to the Social Sciences: Understanding Social Change . If the social sciences are to retain and extend their relevance in the twenty-first century there can be little doubt that they will have to help us understand social change. In the 1990s an introductory course to the social sciences would have looked completely different.
