Jan 3
  1. A home page
  2. A review of the book. Stephen Morgan, Cornell University. Sociological Methods and Research, Vol 32, No 3, February 2004, pp 411-416.

This is to give you a flavor of the book and some of the issues that arise. The first link gets you to a home page about the book, I think, while the second is one of the reviews. This is preliminary reading that should be done before we begin reading the book itself.
