New Directions in Contemporary Sociological Theory
Written by eminent sociologists, this book introduces and assesses some of the most influential, recent sociological theories. Each chapter explains the theory and describes a related program of empirical research. Chapters are authored by the actual founders (and/or leading exponents) of these theoretical programs; many chapters contain a description of the inception, growth, and present status of the theoretical program. The book covers a broad range of sociological concerns, from the investigation of power and status processes, to social movements and revolutions, to organizational and institutional structures, to world system analysis. Accessibly written for a wide sociological audience, this book is an invaluable introduction for undergraduates and graduates to sociology's most important theoretical advances.
Critique and Feminist Theology
Critique and Feminist Theology strives to reinterpret Elisabeth SchÃ?1⁄4ssler Fiorenza's concepts of critique and community from postfoundationalist perspective. In doing this in detail, the author explores her concepts of subjectivity, and the women-church and the ekklesia of wo/men. This groundbreaking book seeks to arbitrate and federate today's two polar issues of the critique and the embrace of the others, which today is socially called for from a post-foundationalist perspective. The new fourth feminist wave is being heralded as focued on communal critique. The author criticizes Fiorenza's concepts of subject and community, presenting a new paradigm to overcome their limitations while constructing better subjectivity and relationships through post-foundationalist reinterpretation.

Building Experiments
Ranging from abstract theory to practical design solutions, this book provides the reader with the understandings needed to design and run cutting edge experiments.
Science and Sociology
Science and Sociology is from beginning to end an exploration of what this implies for the social sciences, and sociology in particular. The authors argue that over the last several decades, sociology has become less a science and more a quest for isolated assessments of situations, whether they come from demographic analyses, survey research, or ethnographic studies. Above all else, this book is an attempt to promote and advance scientific sociology, and we write at length specifying the how and why of this objective. With this objective in mind, the question becomes: What would a scientific sociology look like?
The Growth of Social Knowledge
This is an analysis of contemporary advances in group processes research, and shows how technologies such as laboratory experiments, simulations and complex systems combine, with the rigour of cumulative research programmes, to change the way we see the social world.
Selecting Research Methods: Methods for coding and measuring data
Selecting Research Methods provides advice from prominent social scientists concerning the most crucial steps for planning and undertaking meaningful research: selecting the methods to be used. Contributors to the collection address methodological choices in four stages: design, sampling, coding and measurement, and analysis. The volumes provide an integrated approach to methodological choice in two ways. First, the contributions range from the early decisions about design options through the concluding choices about analyzing, interpreting, and presenting results. Second, the collection is integrated because it addresses the needs of projects that collect qualitative evidence, quantitative ...

Die Logik mechanismischer Erklärungen
Die Beantwortung der beiden Fragen, ob die Sozialwissenschaften im Allgemeinen und die Soziologie im Besonderen wissenschaftslogisch verteidigungsfähige Erklärungen zu liefern vermögen und welcher Logik entsprechende Argumente folgen sollten, ist noch immer offen und umstritten. Das Buch bietet einen Beitrag zu dieser Diskussion und plädiert für eine erklärende Soziologie.
