This book is giant step forward in correcting this omission. If we are lucky, it will stimulate a new branch of methodology devoted to the procedures that analysts can most productively use in the context of discovery.--James Mahoney "Northwestern University"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Richard Swedberg is Professor of Sociology at Cornell University and author of numerous books, including <i>The Max Weber Dictionary</i> (SUP 2005) and <i>Principles of Economic Sociology</i> (2003), among others.
