Fills a big void

This is excerpted and slightly modified from a published review (Perspectives on Politics Volume 3, June 2005) I wrote of this book, which I like quite a bit and regularly recommend and assign to my political science graduate students. Event History Modeling: A Guide for Social Scientists provides a broad and in-depth introduction to duration analysis for political scientists and for social scientists in general. This book will instantly become the go-to guide for most political scientists interested in event history analysis and should become a staple on syllabi for graduate courses for years to come. The authors cover a broad range of important topics, employing a combination of mathematical detail and verbal discussion; important concepts are illustrated with examples using political science data that readers can download. For a book on statistical methods, Event History Modeling is quite readable and the authors do a commendable job of presenting a great variety of issues and making clear recommendations.
