The Uses of Disorder by Richard Sennett
Richard Sennett is one of the world's leading sociologists, and this book, first published in 1970, was his first work. It launched his exploration of communities and how they live in cities.
"'The issues Sennett raises are fundamental and profoundThe book is utopian in the best sense - it tries to define a radically different future and to show that it could be constructed from the materials at hand.' New York Times Book Review 'We are prompted to think and dream and question old and tired cliches and some more recent ones, too, by an author whose mind is rich, wide-ranging, and, best of all, not afraid of life's ambiguities, not tempted to banish them all with ideological rhetoric' Robert Coles"
Richard Sennett is professor of social and cultural theory at the London School of Economics, and Bemis Professor of Social Science at MIT. Among his books is The Culture of the New Capitalism (2006), published by Yale.
