No longer limited to the five services that have traditionally characterized the \"welfare state\", the discipline must look to the interconnections between these services and other areas of policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMichael Cahill here presents a social life of analysis of social policy built on the premise that only if we are sensitive to the context in which government policy programmes operate can we provide good social policies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapters on communicating, viewing, travelling, shopping, working and playing examine these areas from the perspective of everyday life. Each chapter focuses on the theme of inequality in the examination of social change and social life: the old inequalities which persist and the new inequalities which have been produced. In addition, each thematic chapter is supplemented by discussion questions and suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTimely and accessible, this much-needed textbook will be welcomed by students and teachers of public policy, social policy and administration, and social studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eMichael Cahill\u003c\/b\u003e is Principle Lecturer in Social Policy and Deputy Head of the Department of Community Studies at the University of Brighton.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 April 1994\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Blackwell\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780631178620\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e216\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45985779318924,"sku":"9780631178620","price":44.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780631178620.jpg?v=1780239172","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780631178620","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
