Böcker av Gaye Tuchman

From Simon & Schuster, Making News is Gaye Tuchman's exploration into the study in the construction of reality. The Professor of Sociology at Queens College and City University of New York, Tuchman's latest work is one to cherish.As described by Todd Gitlin of Contemporary Sociology, Making News is "simply the most comprehensive book on the social construction of news by an American sociologist to date."

Based on years of observation at a large state university, this title tracks the dispiriting consequences of trading in traditional educational values for loyalty to the market. It provides an account of how higher education's misguided pursuit of success fails us all.
