Advanced Lazarsfeldian Methodology

The book is devoted to Lazarsfeld's methodological legacy. The main goal of the book is to demonstrate that contemporary sociological methodology draws on Lazarsfeld's (and his colleagues) work in many areas. The book is divided into two main sections: 1) "Advances in Traditional Lazarsfeldian Methodology", and 2) "Non-traditional Applications of Lazarsfeldian Methodology". The book can be useful especially to postgraduate students of social sciences and to social scientists interested in methodology.
