ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
This is a compendium of references to various subjects
covered by the umbrella term `social sciences`. The entries are listed and
dealt with alphabetically over four volumes. the text is general and gives an
idea of what the specific topic dealt with is about. The description is pithy
as one can make it without sacrificing lucidity.
We have deliberately used the world `umbrella` to
denote the widespread topics that hve come to be included in the term`.
Social Sciences`. As you will discover, they range from
economics, politics, law, sociology, management and business; through
psychology, organisational behaviour human geography to research and analysis
methodology. We have also been forced to poach on the domain of philosophy and
physics where there is an overlap of topicality. Today, hundreds of subjects
can be legitimately listed under the term `Social Sciences`. To comment on all
of them would be a near impossible takes; and it would take a lot more than
just four volumes to carry it out.
