Book excerpt: Ideal for capstone courses in undergraduate social science, or as an invitation to social research, this innovative short text shows what is common across three major traditions: qualitative research on commonalities; comparative research on diversity; and quantitative research on relationships among variables. These three strategies provide a solid foundation for the study of all social phenomena, from the examination of the complexities of everyday life to the investigation of the power of transnational processes.
