Extract

This book, responding to the stimulus of the volume by Gary King, Robert Keohane, and Sidney Verba, helps to carry forward King et al.'s original purpose—to bridge quantitative and qualitative perspectives and find the unity of method underlying both of them. Whether or not we accept King et al.'s own vision of the underlying unity, it is clear that their work has been a catalyst for progress in this direction.
