Britt's approach is effective; not only did I learn more about theory construction, it became easier to help others improve their own theories and research projects...it will give students essential concepts they need to understand theory-driven qualitative and quantitative research....provides examples, exercises, and additional readings in each chapter. His references include many of the most important publications about theory and methods that have appeared over the past 20 years. -Cultural Anthropology Methods ...graduate students working on their dissertation proposals will find this as a useful guide to thinking and writing more systematically about their research questions. Numerous examples from applied settings should make this reading appealing to sociologists working outside academics. Also, anyone with an active interest in the methodological unity of the social sciences will find Chapters 1-7 stimulating. -Contemporary Sociology
