'Exploration and inspiration are necessary to locate a good social science topic; and this book tells you why and shows you howPlayful and insightful; highly recommended.' Richard Swedberg, Cornell University, New York
'This innovative book endorses diverse approaches to focusing research projects: induction from data, deduction from theory, concentration on data that lends itself to strong causal inference (for example, natural experiments), and concern with explaining major events in the world. The book is engagingly written and will be an excellent text in the classroom. Bravo for Gerring and Seawright!' David Collier, UC Berkeley
