Serendipitously I have been urging participants in OAC to read Abbott's _Models and Methods: Heuristics for the Social Sciences_, which, IMHO, does a brilliant job of positioning ethnography vis-a-vis history, standard causal (statistical) analysis, small-n comparisons and formal modeling. Abbott is rapidly becoming my most "good to think" social scientist ever. Rex, Cosimo, thanks so much.

However, I managed to find Abbott's paper via Google at the following address: http://home.uchicago.edu/~aabbott/Papers/crl.pdf (I guess it must be open access otherwise one wouldn't be able to download it) Thanks for the interesting blog post and for the reading suggestion!
