How Science Takes Stock: The Story of Meta-Analysis

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
In How Science Takes Stock, Morton Hunt presents the practice of meta-analysis (a sophisticated new scientific research technique) to the general public for the first time. Hunt explains in straight-forward, reader-friendly prose the history, techniques, achievements, and controversies surrounding meta-analysis. How Science Takes Stock shows how meta-analysis can help social policy makers and health professionals resolve their most pressing problems. How Science Takes Stocks concludes with a discussion of the future of meta-analysis that examines its potential for further refinements, its growth in the scientific literature, and exciting new possibilities for its future use. How Science Takes Stock is further enhanced with an appendix offering some of the finer points on the mechanics of conducting a meta-analytic investigation. How Science Takes Stock is a well crafted, insightful presentation ideal for the non-specialist general reader as well as for the student of the science research process.
