Reasoned Argument in Social Science - Linking Research to Policy

?This work is ... a set of ideas to guide the thinking by which social science researchers conceptualize their work. ... The author concisely presents a theory of knowledge in order to develop the need for greater precision in description, classification, forecasts, theories, choice, and argument. ... The approach thoroughout is critical.... Each statement is clear, each idea is cogently argued, and one is led gently but relentlessly to perceive how research should be thought about before it begins. ... This book is a model of persuasive argument and good writing. ... It is to the author's credit that he discusses profound subjects in so few pages, Useful ideas for researchers, both beginnners and experienced alike, abound on every page.?-The Alabama Journal of Medical Sciences
