Anselm L. Strauss
-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
