Reviews

-The reader's view of this book will depend heavily upon whether he admires the work of Parsons or Goffman, Garfinkle or Marx, Merton or Mills. It depends on whether he favors the inductive or deductive approach to research, what he considers theory to be, how he thinks it should be formulated, and what relationship he sees between theory and data. The systematic account of this method of theory building raises fundamental questions which are of concern to all sociologists. Glaser and Strauss provide a valuable opportunity to review these questions.- --Rex A. Lucas, Contemporary Sociology -Earlier works [in the series] set the -ground- for this book, which is intended as an analytical treatment of ubiquitous social process referred to as -status passage.-- --Karen S. Cook, Social Forces -[T]he area of study is an important one and any new impetus given to its development is praiseworthy.- --Solon T. Kimball, American Journal of Sociology
