Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. Date on the title page. First Printing. Editorial Note, Footnotes, Indices; xi, 282 pages. Errata slip tipped-in. The blue cloth shows a touch of rubbing to the corner tips and gently-bumped spine, where gilt-lettering remains bold. The interior is creamy-bright despite light toning to the top-edge; pages are crisp and clean. The unclipped dustjacket ($3.50) is downgraded because of several tears on the sunned spine---now closed with archival tissue; the title is affected, but remains legible. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "[N]o deterministic theories of man or society which deny the emergence of genuine novelty in the latter through the capacity for creative mental synthesis of the former can provide an adequate methodological basis for social research nor can methods limited to the fact-finding study of social interactions constitute such a methodology."---from the Editorial Note. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…
