In more detail: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Self-contained presentation - In respect to the background sociological facts and theoretical ideas and also the formal methods the book provides clear and simple accounts accompanied by examples.\u003cbr\u003e- A theoretical research program - The emphasis is on theory development, involving a series of theoretical models constructed within a core framework of principles and methods.\u003cbr\u003e- Deals with a significant explanatory problem relating to social inequality - We know from research that how people perceive the stratification system of a society depends upon their position in that system. So the problem is: What process generates this regularity and thereby explains empirical generalizations about the social structuration of images? \u003cbr\u003e- Constructs generative theoretical models - The book is an extended presentation of \"generative theory\" in sociology, a formal method of producing effective theoretical explanations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenerating Images of Stratification\u003c\/strong\u003e is of interest to mathematical sociologists and formal theorists in sociology; sociologists interested in social stratification; methodologists, both in sociology and in other fields; philosophers of social science; and theoretical scientists and mathematicians who are interested in applying their analytical tools to social science topics. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2003-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781402015007\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-0123-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 204.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481598750860,"sku":"9781402015007","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781402015007.jpg?v=1757636177","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781402015007","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
