Continuity and change have been major concerns of the social and behavioral sciences -- in the study of human development and in the study of processes that unfold in various ways across time. There has been a veritable explosion of techniques for studying change over time which have fundamentally changed how we need to think of and study change. Unfortunately, many of the old precepts and beliefs are still among us. The field of methodology for the study of change is itself ready to change. Recently, there have been many analytic and conceptual developments questioning our cherished beliefs about the study of change. As such, how are individuals to think about issues and correctly analyze change? The chapters in this volume address these issues. Divided into two sections, this book deals with designs that analyze change in multiple subjects, and with change in single subjects and an interacting system. Papers presented in this volume are accessible to scientists who are not methodologists. The character of the papers are more like primers than basic treatises on methodology, written for other methodologists. It is time that people stop thinking in rigid ways about how to study change and be introduced to a range of many possibilities. Change, stability, order and chaos are elusive concepts. The pursuit of the laws of change must be approached in as flexible and creative a fashion as possible. This book should help to lead the way.

Seller: Black Cat Hill Books, Oregon City, OR, U.S.A.
Hardcover. Six pages shows HI-LIGHTING. Else, Near Fine: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to the corner tips and faint smudges and hi-lighter stains at the fore-edge; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. Clearly, this is a flawed copy, but one that remains handsome and in nearly-new condition, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing, besides the hi-lighting, a couple of minor, unobtrusive flaws. Would make a handsome reading copy, if one could overlook the hi-lighting. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.3 x 6.3 x 1.55 inches). xiii, 528 pages. Language: English.
