Social scientists become experts in their own disciplines but aren't always familiar with what is going on in neighboring fields. To foster a deeper understanding of the interconnection of the social sciences, economists should know where historical data come from, sociologists should know how to think like economists, political scientists would benefit from understanding how models are tested in psychology, historians should learn how political processes are studied, psychologists should understand sociological theories, and so forth. This overview by prominent social scientists gives an accessible, non-technical sense of how quantitative research is done in different areas. Readers will find out about models and ways of thinking in economics, history, sociology, political science, and psychology, which in turn they can bring back to their own work.

There has always been some scepticism about social science. In certain quarters today there is much more doubt about the possibility of drawing on scientific information when addressing public policy issues. Attacks on social science, not always well informed, often go hand-in-hand with activity that claims to be social science, yet bears little resemblance to anything scientific. This book makes the case for the scientific study of society by reviewing what social scientists actually do. This is not an abstract discussion. Recent journal literature on several topics such as crime, migration and religion, as studied by anthropology, economics, political science, social psychology and sociology, demonstrate the achievements of social science. The book argues that modest achievements are to be preferred to the immodest claims of social poets and social prophets.
