“This pathbreaking book is a must read for any scientist who is interested in formulating and testing hypotheses about the social world. This includes political scientists, sociologists, historians, geographers, anthropologists… The book is clever, funny, and guides you through the tangle of problems which confront empirical research in social science. I wish I had had it years ago.”
