- Summary:
- Our lives are full of disruptions, from minor irritations to full-scale disasters. In the first book to examine disruption in American life from a cultural rather than a psychological perspective, Gay Becker researched how people deal with the unexpected. DISRUPTED LIVES acknowledges the place of discontinuity in our existence and breaks new ground in understanding the cultural dynamics of life in the U.S.
