"How pertinent, as well as refreshing, to see the recent historical turn in each of the social sciences not only identified but thoughtfully analyzed."-Leon Fink, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill "The past twenty-five years have witnessed a remarkable upsurge of historical research-and historical thinking-across the social sciences, transforming knowledge about phenomena ranging from capitalist development, to welfare states, to professions and organizations. The essays collected here range from the comprehensive to the quirky. They chart many of the rich insights of historical social science, and display the challenges and limits of interdisciplinary dialogue. Students and teachers alike will find this collection a vital recource, as they chart new frontiers for theory and investigation."-Theda Skocpol, Harvard University
