informative slow-paced

I love the style and voice of this volume. I’m glad I read it after the first two years of my doctorate. It would have been difficult to understand if I had read it before, but at this moment, it’s consolidating the last two years of instruction into a more holistic understanding of theoretical construction and the design of studies. I enjoy books like this that provide the birds-eye view of a theoretical debate/conversation that spans the last 150 years. And I love that she presents it as a mad hatter tea party. Recommend for graduate students and theorists who have finished course work.
