Exploring Social Geography

Exploring Social Geography, first published in 1984, offers a challenging yet comprehensive introduction to the wealth of empirical research and theoretical debate that has developed in response to the advent of a social approach to the subject. The argument emphasises the essentially spatial structure of social interaction, and includes a succinct discussion of geographical research on segregation and interaction, which has combined numerical analyses and qualitative ethnographic field research. A distinctive view of social geography is adopted, inspired by the Chicago school of North American pragmatism, but also incorporating the formal sociological theories of Simmel and Weber.  Exploring Social Geography will be of value to students of urban geography in particular. However, it will also indicate a wide-ranging and distinctive perspective for all students of the social sciences with a special interest in debates concerning urban, ethnic, racial, anthropological and theoretical issues.

Introduction to Causal Analysis: Exploring Survey Data by Crosstabulation (Contemporary Social Research Series)

This book demonstrates the use of simple crosstabulation analyses based on causal models for the purpose of solving cause-and-effect problems involving quantities of statistical data. The author outlines the procedures for establishing causal effects from empirical data and the main kinds of problems faced when interpreting results.  He also compares the causal approach to data analysis with other approaches, such as regression or loglinear analysis.  In addition to introductory courses in statistics, the book will be useful in all courses where surveys are a primary source of information, such as those studying social stratification, political participation, or public opinion.  Each chapter contains a summary and glossary, and exercises with answers.  Social scientists and specialists on contingency table analysis will find many novel and interesting ideas.
