Philosophers and social scientists share a common goal: to explore fundamental truths about ourselves and the nature of the world in which we live. But in what ways do these two distinct disciplines inform each other and arrive at these truths? This third revised edition of this highly regarded text directly responds to such issues as it introduces students to the philosophy of social science. This classic text has been brought up to date with a new introduction and commentaries reflecting on the original chapters in the context of more recent developments.

The book: - Clearly introduces the theoretical underpinnings of social science, assuming no prior knowledge - Addresses critical issues relating to the nature of social science - Interrogates the relationship between social science and natural science - Encompasses traditional and contemporary perspectives - Introduces and critiques a wide range of approaches, from empiricism and positivism to post structuralism and rationalism. Written in an engaging and student-friendly style, the book introduces key ideas and concepts while raising questions and opening debates. A cornerstone text in the Traditions in Social Theory series, this book remains essential reading for all students of social theory and social science research.

“This wonderful monograph treats a subject that resonates with anyone who studies the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and particularly Palestinian nationalism: that how Palestinian history is remembered and constructed is as meaningful to our understanding of the current struggle as arriving as some sort of ‘complete empirical understanding’ of its history. Swedenburg . . . studies how a major anti-colonial insurrection, the 1936–38 strike and revolt in Palestine [against the British], is remembered in Palestinian nationalist historiography, western and Israeli ‘official’ historical discourse, and Palestinian popular memory. Using primarily oral history interviews, supplemented by archival material and national monuments, he presents multiple, complex, contradictory, and alternative interpretations of historical events. . . . The book is thematically divided into explorations of Palestinian nationalist symbols, stereotypes, and myths; Israeli national monuments that simultaneously act as historical ‘injunctions against forgetting’ Jewish history and efforts to ‘marginalize, vilify, and obliterate’ the Arab history of Palestine; Palestine subaltern memories as resistance to official narratives, including unpopular and controversial recollections of collaboration and assassination; and finally, how the recodification and revival of memories of the revolt informed the Palestinian intifada that erupted in 1987.” —MESA Bulletin
In this new, expanded edition of Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails—issued for the 100th Anniversary of National Prohibition—historian, expert, and drink aficionado Ted Haigh, aka Dr. Cocktail vastly widens his examination of 1920–1933, the thirteen-year period when women got the Vote, child labor was abolished and, ironically, saw the cocktail elevated, prolonged, and expanded, spreading this signature American drink form in tasty ripples around the world. All this, plus more drink recipes! Nothing is so desired as the thing denied. Prohibition made people want cocktails very, very badly. Because "synthetic" liquor was the easiest to make, it was also the easiest to get. Problematically, it tasted awful and wasn't exactly good for you either.

Along with 100+ rare and delicious authentic recipes gathered from old cocktail manuals and scraps of paper never published, this illustrated trip down mixology lane tells the fascinating origins of the cocktail and how it evolved over time, including its rising popularity during Prohibition. Vintage illustrations and advertisements, photos of old bottles and cocktail artifacts, and fascinating Prohibition-era photographs bring the tippling past back to vivid life. Recipes for rare treasures like The Fogcutter, Knickerbocker à la Monsieur, The Moscow Mule, and Satan’s Whiskers are each presented with: Historical background on its origin and cultural context Drink Notes that provide additional information on ingredients and tips for substitutions and variations Fascinating historical ephemera from Dr. Cocktail's personal collection This homage to the great bartenders of the past and the beverages they created also profiles some of the most influential cocktail pioneers of today. For anyone who enjoys an icy drink and an unforgettable tale, this is a must-have volume.
Ted Palmer gives particular attention to the development of ′intensive supervision′ in probation and after care, and sets out an agenda for the future. . . . He offers a developmental stages perspective for work with juveniles which should address changes to the offender and/or changes to the offenders′ life circumstances. --LCCJ Newsletter Looking back to successful intervention programs of the 1970s--programs based on skill-development methods, control/surveillance techniques, psychologically oriented programs, and combinations of these procedures--Ted Palmer strongly supports such correctional intervention programs through an analysis of several recent studies, including his own. He evaluates the research to date on rehabilitation and describes the role--past, present, and future--of rehabilitation/habilitation within the context of other corrrectional modalities, including the justice model philosophy. He also presents an intervention framework and a related theoretical structure that can assist in program development, intervention planning for offenders, and understanding and evaluating change-processes. This timely volume will inspire passionate debate in the coming decade for practitioners, academics, and students alike in criminology. "Palmer, a recognized scholar of correctional practice and policy, answers critics of treatment and addresses the current emphasis on punishment as the sole disposition of offenders by assembling evidence supporting growth-centered (habilitation) intervention for juveniles and adults. Reviewing the past 15 years of evaluation of correctional intervention, he has identified key intervention elements, connections, and community/offender outcomes. . . . The concluding chapter is an extremely valuable investigation into offender intervention programs in which Palmer assesses prospects for change and effectiveness. Excellent bibliography. Undergraduate; graduate; faculty; professional." --Choice "Integrates several important components of the development correctional treatment policy: 1) the political/historical development of correctional treatment policy; 2) evolution of the debate on treatment effectiveness; 3) the methodology of treatment evaluation; 4) improved knowledge of recommendations for future programming and evaluation efforts. Since it interweaves numerous areas of expertise, such as psychology, research, and policy analysis, it is a unique contribution. It is this multifaceted approach to the topic which is sorely needed. To date, I have required readings on theory and policy, but I have provided and have required students to do the integrating. Palmer′s book will be a valuable addition to this course. Furthermore, there is a growing group of planners, administrators, policy analysts, researchers, and scholars in the area of correctional treatment who would benefit from and be interested in Palmer′s book. Again, the integration of theory, policy, and research offers a crucial resource to such an audience. This is a book that will be heavily cited in the years to come. . . . The analysis is brilliant. Added to the fact that Palmer already has a stellar reputation in this field, it is likely to become a benchmark publication." --Pat Van Voorhis, University of Cincinnati

Bernard Goldberg, author of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: "There is loathsome and there is beneath loathsome. And then there's Ted Rall."
