Arthur L. Stinchcombe has earned a reputation as a leading practitioner of methodology in sociology and related disciplines. Throughout his distinguished career he has championed the idea that to be an effective sociologist, one must use many methods. This incisive work introduces students to the logic of those methods.

Trade Review
"This is an important book. Arthur Stinchcombe introduces some much-needed practical wisdom into the topic of sociological methodology. Some of the silliest debates in the field seem to be about which method is superior to the rest. Stinchcombe lays waste to this notion and shows that we learn more when multiple methods are applied to the same problem. There is no other book like it." - Joel Podolny, Harvard University"
