<br/><br/>Salsa dancing? In the social sciences? -- What's it all about? -- An ode to canonical social science -- What is this a case of, anyway? -- Reviewing the literature -- On sampling, operationalization, and generalization -- Getting down to the nitty-gritty -- Field (and other) methods -- Historical-comparative methods -- Data reduction and analysis -- Living your life as a salsa-dancing social scientist. 
<br/><br/> Savvy, witty, and sensible, this book is both a handbook for defining and completing a research project, and an astute introduction to the neglected history and changeable philosophy of modern social science.
