Description: "Social Science Quotations draws extensively upon writings that constitute the historical core of the social sciences and social thought, those works with staying power often described as the "classical texts." 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.".

"Social Science Quotations is useful for 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."--BOOK JACKET.
