- Reviewed in Germany on 11 May 2017The text itself is amazing and Garfinkel is a great theorist. BUT the font of the book is horrible to read. I'd advise against this very print of the text.

FabioReviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 November 20145.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars
Garfinkel's seminal book; it has put sociology upside down, creating an approach that takes seriously what people do!

A pioneer work in ethnomethodology. A classic study by founder of ethnomethodology, Harold Garfinkel.
