Reviews

'Elizabeth Shove has delivered a refreshing and high quality piece of work that can be expected to have a lasting impact on the research agenda of the sociology of consumption...The book also offers a refreshing sort of methodological perspective to the study of everyday life.' Sociology Journal 'Conceptually rich and strikingly original. With close attention to the most mundane of human activities and their objects, she advances both social theory and the cause of environmental reform.' Harvey Molotch, Professor of Sociology and Metropolitan Studies, New York University
