RIP, Howard
I missed the news in late-August that Howard Becker had passed away
A phenomenal social scientist. Not mentioned in his obit is that many who have never read is scholarly work have poured over and dog eared is, arguably magisterial, writing for social scientists, Writing for Social Scientists, Third Edition, recently reissued and updated.
I happened to re-read it earlier this year. After reading the obit over the weekend, I flipped through the book to look at my annotations.
