The author explores how  consumption affects personal identity and social position, developing a  sociological analysis using theories of practice to account for everyday  consumption, its role in the social order, and its consequences for  environmental sustainability. The book offers a controversial analysis which  explains consumption not in terms of the purchasing of commodities but of the  organization and coordination of daily practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConsumption\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to scholars and students of sociology,  anthropology, geography, cultural studies, consumer research, business studies  and social theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2019-04-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349717866\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55682-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 261\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752472146060,"sku":"9781349717866","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349717866.jpg?v=1775956342","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349717866","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
