The social scientist will also need to address the issue of time: Will it be historical time, in which the events studied unfold, or, on the contrary, the time lived by the individual who experiences the events Will the observation point be a precise moment of that 'lived' time, in order to explain the behaviours occurring then by con ditions prevailing immediately beforehand Or, on the contrary, will the ob servation span an individual's entire life, involving constantly changing conditions These issues have been present from the very beginning of social science research. We shall address them throughout this volume, and try to find satisfactory solutions. The multilevel approach-which has recently gained ground-tackles the issues from a fresh angle. Within the framework of a single model, it seeks to achieve a synthesis connecting individuals to the society in which they live. For this purpose, it uses intermediate levels, which can vary from one science to another: for example, class and school, in education; the village, the town, and the region, in human geography; the family, the household, and the con tact circle, in demography.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 258 pp. Englisch.
