Levi Martin is always original. Thinking Through Methods combines a hard-nosed commitment to scholarly ideals with an endless array of provocative and clever things to say. This is a very creative work on sociological methods and there is enormous wisdom to be found in it., Thinking Through Methods offers an incisive introduction to social research methods. Methods textbooks are too often a bit stodgy. This book is anything but dull. It's irreverent and entertaining, full of examples of good and bad research. Novice and experienced researchers alike will come away with strategies to avoid common mistakes. I look forward to assigning it in both undergraduate and graduate methods courses., This primer has all the traditional topics for acquiring and expressing methodological expertise in the doing of sociology. With Levi Martin's penchant for exquisite writing and clarity, as well as original, often clever approaches and examples--not to mention pithy 'takeaways' and recommendations for further reading--the book is utterly distinguished. So it is not only usable but fun, interesting, and even intriguing, along the way.

Synopsis
Sociological research is hard enough already--you don't need to make it even harder by smashing about like a bull in a china shop, not knowing what you're doing or where you're heading. Or so says John Levi Martin in this witty, insightful, and desperately needed primer on how to practice rigorous social science. Thinking Through Methods focuses on the practical decisions that you will need to make as a researcher-- where the data you are working with comes from and how that data relates to all the possible data you could have gathered. This is a user's guide to sociological research, designed to be used at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Rather than offer mechanical rules and applications, Martin chooses instead to team up with the reader to think through and with methods. He acknowledges that we are human beings--and thus prone to the same cognitive limitations and distortions found in subjects--and proposes ways to compensate for these limitations. Martin also forcefully argues for principled symmetry, contending that bad ethics makes for bad research, and vice versa. Thinking Through Methods is a landmark work--one that students will turn to again and again throughout the course of their sociological research., "You don't need to have ridden on the space shuttle to figure out why they blow up. You just need to sift through wreckage." This is John Levi Martin's lead-in to an explanation of where he gets the considerable gumption to write a methods book that covers just about every social science method without pretending to be an expert in each. He has watched others fail or succeed for many years. He brings us the results of his teaching experience with uncanny insight and marvelous wit. The book is, mirabile dictu, fun to read. Most methods books focus on just one method, or sometimes two. None of them attempt to cover the gamut from interviewing to observing to demography to ethnography to computational social science to ethics, etc. Despite the panorama of methods treated, Thinking through Methods has a unifying idea: rigor in social science stems from an understanding of where the data you are working with come from, and how those data sit in a space of all the possible data you could have gathered. Levi Martin's focus is on the practical decisions that a researcher will need to make. A signal trait of this book is the way Martin avoids mechanical rules and mechanical applications; instead, he teams up with his reader to actually think through methods, and to think with methods. His aim could not be simpler: to provide a regimen that will help students do better work--in particular, work that builds on results coming from both cognitive science and reflexive sociology over the past half century. His audience is students interested in (or taking courses in) sociological research, both graduate and undergraduate. It is a user's guide, suitable also for those not pursuing primary research but seeking a guide to critically evaluate the research of others. The book can be used as a sole general work in intensive classes that do not use an intro text, but also as a supplement for the broader course in methods using texts like Russell Schutt's intro text, Investigating the Social World (Sage, ca. $98). Thinking through Methods is a reference book dream of sorts, combining the virtues of Booth, The Craft of Research with the virtues of Becker, Tricks of the Trade.
