Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
A Primer in Theory Construction is for those who have already studied one or more of the social, behavioral, or natural sciences, but have no formal introduction to the way theories are constructed, stated, tested, and connected together to form a scientific body of knowledge. The author discusses scientific theories in general terms, but also addresses the special challenges of developing scientific knowledge about social and human phenomena. This Allyn and Bacon Classics Edition contains the complete text of the original copyright 1971 version, with new typography and page design.

I read this book as a grad school and then used it many years later when teaching an undergrad seminar. I loved it, and the students did, too.
The book is incredibly concise, clear. The book starts with the idea of concept and works its way (quickly) up to theories. Then the link between theory and empiricism is explored very briefly.
If you have ever wondered what a "theory" is or by what criteria you could judge one, this is your book.
