- More about Connecting Practices: Large Topics in Society and Social Theory
Connecting Practices develops a method of conceptualizing significant trends and global issues by examining how social practices interact and combine across space and time, arguing that these are outcomes of the ways in which social practices connect. It brings practice theory to bear on large problems in society, with examples from the spreading of germs to the history of shipping containers.

Connecting Practices is a groundbreaking approach to understanding significant trends and global issues such as environmental sustainability and inequalities in wealth and health. It argues that these outcomes are the result of the ways in which social practices interact and combine across space and time. By engaging with the question of how connections are made between practices and how past and present combinations make some futures more likely than others, this book brings practice theory to bear on large problems in society.
The book is richly illustrated with examples from a wide range of fields, including the spreading of germs, the history of shipping containers, and the development of social networks. These examples help to illustrate the powerful analysis of how societies hang together and how they change.
The book will appeal to scholars and students of sociology and social theory, as it provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to practice theory. It offers a new way of thinking about the relationship between practices and social structures, and provides valuable insights into how societies can be transformed for the better.
In conclusion, Connecting Practices is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationships between social practices and social structures. It offers a powerful analysis of how societies hang together and how they change, and provides valuable insights into how we can create a more sustainable and equitable world.
