How to conduct a practice-based study: problems and methods (second edition): by Silvia Gherardi, Edward Elgar, Cheltenham, 2019, 295 pp., £85.50 (hardback), ISBN 978 1 78897 355 7 A book with a title like this is likely to be picked off the library shelf by students who have heard that there has been something of a practice turn in social theory (Schatzki, Knorr-Cetina, and Savigny [4]) who want to jump on this bandwagon, and who are looking for short cuts and practical guidance about how to proceed. Although Gherardi makes much of the point that "all practices are sociomaterial", it seems that this is, in the end, a matter of noticing that there are different material relations involved, as practices unfold.
