Research in the Social Sciences: Its Fundamental Methods and Objectives

This book consists of a series of lectures by an outstanding authority in each of the field of social sciences at the University of Virginia. The book results in a stimulus from the presentation of the organized thought about the fundamental objectives and methods of research in the particular field of specialization. The main focus of the book being on deriving an impact of the individual expert’s experience upon the several problems to be encountered by the investigators in the course of their research. The editor believes that the book makes a substantial contribution towards clearing away the non-essential, and emphasizing the sound and fruitful processes in what is now perhaps the most important field of human intellectual endeavour.
