David Nathan Sudnow has passed away.
David Sudnow died early this morning following surgery for cancer at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley.
His dissertation: \\\"Passing On: The Social Organization of Dying in the County Hospital\\\" did not forecast his future success.
His book: \\\"Ways of the Hand: The Organization of Improvised Conduct\\\" brought him considerable fame both within and outside the world of academe. In a very special way, he put reflexive sociology to work and by this effort brought a great deal of happiness to many.
