Reviews

'A thoroughly absorbing and at times quite stunning book.' - Sociological Review 'A challenging, illuminating, clearly written and very useful contribution to the literature.' - Sociology 'Sayer's book is refreshing in that it is written in plain English while tackling some major problems of explanation in social science in a rigorous fashion ... it would be eminently suitable reading for a seminar course in methodology.' - Geography '...unconditionally recommended for geographers...This is the most sophisticated and well developed book on geographic method to appear in years. Sayer seeks nothing less than a complete overhaul of discourse in the social sciences.' - Annals of the Association of American Geographers Sayer is one of the most profound thinkers and researchers of our time - cogent, lucid and provocative on the key issues of our day. Method in Social Science has been an essential guide on epistemology and methodology for 25 years - written not only for researchers and colleagues in the social sciences but also for students. - Mark Smith, Open University, UK
