'A... comprehensive overview and critique of ethnomethodologicallyinformed conversation analysis is now available in coherent andaccessible form.' Contemporary Sociology '... This is an excellent collection which attempts to explorefundamental features of social analysis... The arguments presentedhave profound implications for the analysis of classroominteraction and other features of the educational world.'Language and Education 'It is to John Heritage's great credit that he hassifted the wheat from the chaff. He has given us a clear expositionof the intellectual antecedents of Garfinkel's work-notablyHusserl, Schutz, and Mannheim-and of its affinities withWittgenstein and ordinary language philosophy. He has amplyillustrated aspects of Garfinkel's own work and in particularhas shown how conversation analysis, which is particularly indebtedto the research of the late Harvey Sacks, has become a prominentform of ethnomethodological work. The book is well-organized andclearly written.' John Eldridge, Times Higher EducationSupplement 'Scholarly, accurate, timely...a comprehensiveoverview and critique of ethnomethodologically informedconversation analysis is now available in coherent and accessibleform.'
