關於產品

Product Information

Howard S. Becker is a master of his discipline. His reputation as a teacher, as well as a sociologist, is supported by his best-selling quartet of sociological guidebooks: Writing for Social Scientists , Tricks of the Trade , Telling About Society , and What About Mozart? What About Murder? It turns out that the master sociologist has yet one more trick up his sleeve--a fifth guidebook, Evidence . Becker has for seventy years been mulling over the problem of evidence. He argues that social scientists don't take questions about the usefulness of their data as evidence for their ideas seriously enough. For example, researchers have long used the occupation of a person's father as evidence of the family's social class, but studies have shown this to be a flawed measure--for one thing, a lot of people answer that question too vaguely to make the reasoning plausible. The book is filled with examples like this, and Becker uses them to expose a series of errors, suggesting ways to avoid them, or even to turn them into research topics in their own right. He argues strongly that because no data-gathering method produces totally reliable information, a big part of the research job consists of getting rid of error. Readers will find Becker's newest guidebook a valuable tool, useful for social scientists of every variety.

Reviews
"Becker urges researchers to steer directly into sources of error: matters that first present themselves as data limitations--ambiguous survey questions, subjects' unreliable recollections of their behavior, self-serving practices of bureaucratic recordkeeping--are, for the creative researcher, likely to be unusually interesting and fruitful topics for study. This is perhaps the most important piece of advice offered by the book, and one at the core of Becker's own work: by remaining mindful of how data is produced, it is possible to 'turn "technical problems" into researchable questions.'", Becker calls Evidence a book he's been writing for the seventy years of his professional life as a distinguished social scientist and-- dare one say?-- philosopher. For, beyond being a handbook for doing--and understanding-- research, this is a guide to seeking the truth of day to day lives. No social scientist, humanist, or philosopher could imagine a better time for its appearance given the rise of reckless demagogic claims for a 'post-truth' age and their disparagement not just of science but democracy and our shared humanity., Evidence is a deeply thoughtful, original take on the relationship between our ideas, the observations we make, and our ways of figuring out how we know what we are talking about. Becker breathes new life into an important tradition that has been overshadowed--thinking about methodology in terms of the practical organization of data gathering, alongside the practical ends we may not suspect, but that end up black-boxed as 'objective' data., "Becker calls Evidence a book he's been writing for the seventy years of his professional life as a distinguished social scientist and-- dare one say?-- philosopher. For, beyond being a handbook for doing--and understanding-- research, this is a guide to seeking the truth of day to day lives. No social scientist, humanist, or philosopher could imagine a better time for its appearance given the rise of reckless demagogic claims for a 'post-truth' age and their disparagement not just of science but democracy and our shared humanity."--Michael Joyce, Vassar College, With Evidence , Becker has written another must-read book for students and experienced sociologists, as well as also for all of those who do not yet understand how and why the sociology is a real science., Evidence is thoughtful account on how to do social science research and should be read by those who engage in such work. Becker shows the importance of thinking about the practical aspects of methodology in collecting data and transforming it into evidence. In a world of fake news and anti-vaccination rhetoric, there is no timelier book than Evidence to show us how to think through these and other issues.
