Recenzii

“This is an engaging, clear and well-organized introduction to the use of large data sets to analyze stratification and gender.”
“[It] include[s] basic research analysis principles and very good examples and applications [and] also manages to provide critical and progressive conceptual perspectives.”
“Grounding sociological theory in real-world examples using real sociological data is an absolutely important aspect of undergraduate exposure to the scientific method and sociological analysis.”
