Reviews
"Summum opus. A dazzling, momentous achievement. . . . Everything important that has been said in the social sciences will be found here." --Daniel Patrick Moynihan, former U.S. Senator from New York "Comprehensive, authoritative, and thought-provoking, this is an invaluable reference work for the curious reader as well as for the specialist." -- Justin Kaplan, general editor, Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.
Synopsis
Social Science Quotations has been prepared to meet an evident, unmet need in the literature of the social sciences. Writings on the lives and theories of individual social scientists abound, but there has been no fully documented collection of memorable quotations from the social sciences as a whole. The frequent use of quotations in scientific as well as literary writings that are mere summaries or paraphrases typically fail to capture the full force of formulations that have made quotations memorable. This book of quotations invites the further reading or rereading of the original texts, beyond the quotations themselves. Sills and Merton draw extensively upon the writings that constitute the historical core of the social sciences and social thought; those works with staying power often described as the "classical texts." Many quotations have been drawn from these classical texts because the quotations contain memorable ideas memorably expressed. Both consequential and memorable, these words have been quoted over the generations, entering into the collective memory of social scientists everywhere and at times diffusing into popular thought and into the vernacular as well. This book is useful to social scientists, anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists and statisticians-and for all who want to learn or verify memorable formulations and phrases concerning social thought and social theories. It is particularly useful for graduate students taking courses that examine the history of their discipline., Social Science Quotations has been prepared to meet an evident, unmet need in the literature of the social sciences.

In this reference work, the date and source of each quotation serve to help place them in their larger contexts, making it useful in examining the discipline's history.

    Excellent eBay seller with good communications!!! Book came as described (GOOD condition), reasonably packaged (plastic mailer bag with 3 other books), and in very good time considering free shipping (projected delivery 5/7 thru 5/12; rcvd 5/10). Have purchased multiple books from SecondSalecom, and have been quite satisfied with the quality, appearance, and value of those purchases. Will definitely check their selection for future book purchases. Thanks, SecondSalecom!

    I had a positive experience with this seller. I did receive an incorrect item in my package, but when I reached out to the seller about the problem, they responded in a timely manner and resolved the issue. Items were packaged in a bag but arrived in good condition as described. I am very happy with the condition of the books I received. Great value. I have already placed additional orders with this seller. Thank you!
