商品簡介
Drawing extensively from the classical texts of the social sciences, editors Sills (emeritus, Social Science Research Council) and Merton (emeritus, Columbia U.) present a collection of quotations, including memorable words from such luminaries as Keynes in economics, Macaulay in history, Machiavelli in political thought, Jung in psychology, and Holmes in the law, among others, as well as some quotes from poets, politicians, and physicists. The quotations are presented alphabetically by author, with the index organized by subject. The date of first publication and source of each quotation are given in the text, and the full reference is provided in the bibliography to help the reader place even extended quotations in their larger contexts. The 1991 edition was titled The Macmillan Book of Social Science Quotations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
