Download or read book A Historiography of the Modern Social Sciences written by Roger E. Backhouse and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Historiography of the Modern Social Sciences includes essays on the ways in which the histories of psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, history and political science have been written since the Second World War.
