Howard S. Becker is the author of several books, including Writing for Social Scientists, Telling About Society, Tricks of the Trade, and, most recently, What About Mozart? What About Murder?. He lives and works in San Francisco.
"Evidence is thoughtful account on how to do social science
research and should be read by those who engage in such work.
Becker shows the importance of thinking about the practical aspects
of methodology in collecting data and transforming it into
evidence. In a world of fake news and anti-vaccination rhetoric,
there is no timelier book than Evidence to show us how to think
through these and other issues."-- "VoegelinView"
"With Evidence, Becker has written another must-read book for
students and experienced sociologists, as well as also for all of
those who do not yet understand how and why the sociology is a real
science."-- "Liens Socio"
