This is a robust text - challenging and provocative and one which
students will benefit from reading. Layder guides the reader
through a large body of relevant literature. He draws attention to
the strengths and weaknesses of particular approaches as he sees
them and he is not afraid to offer his own judgements on the issues
and problems he addresses' - "Professor John Eldridge, University
of Glasgow
"

most comprehensive, incisive and readable treatments of the
macro-micro problem now available' - "Professor Paul Colomy,
University of Denver

of argument and discussion;
