  This book proceeds from an explanation of the nature of social science as an academic discipline to a description of the nature of social research, looking at both theory testing and theory construction. It concludes by explaining how one analyzes the knowledge resulting from social science. Two short cases are used in this part. Throughout the book the author compares and contrasts the methods used with other knowledge models, such as in medicine and law.
