Friedrichs, Robert W. A Sociology of Sociology. New York: Free Press, 1970. Pp. 429. $11.95. Analyzes recent and contemporary social theory and research from the perspective of the sociology of sociology. Suggests that the biography of a discipline is to be understood as an alterna- tion between periods of "normal" and "revolu- tionary" development in its underlying assump- tions or paradigms. Argues that behind such dispute over the adequacy of a given substantive image with which to ground social theory and research lies a more fundamental dispute over the paradigm that would form the sociologist's image of himself. Draws upon the historical roots of the discipline, upon the larger intellec- tual tradition out of which it grew, and upon the logic of science both social and natural.

Pzreworski, Adam, and Henry Teune. The Logic of Comparative Social Inquiry. New York: Wiley, 1970. Pp. 153. $8.50. Focuses on the role of social systems in the development of social science theories in comparative research. In the context of theory, names of cultures, societies, and political systems are interpreted as residua of variables-that which is not accounted for by a theory. Within the context of measurement, systems are interpreted as determinants of the validity of inferences leading to measurement statements. The implications of these positions are that specific systems are treated as labels for unspecified factors rather than as limits of generality and that the equivalence of measurement statements is treated as a matter of the validity of inferences rather than of the nature of the indicators. First volume in a new series by the publisher-Comparative Studies in Behavior- al Science.
