520    Why have the social sciences in general failed to produce 
       results with the ever-increasing explanatory power and 
       predictive strength of the natural sciences? In seeking an
       answer to this question, Alexander Rosenberg, a 
       philosopher of science, plunges into the controversial 
       discipline of sociobiology. Sociobiology, Rosenberg 
       asserts, deals in those forces governing human behavior 
       that traditional social science has unsuccessfully 
       attempted to slip between: neurophysiology, on the one 
       hand, and selective forces, on the other. Unlike previous 
       works in the two fields it straddles, Rosenberg's book 
       brings thinking about the nature of scientific theorizing 
       to bear on the most traditional issues in the philosophy 
       of social science. The author finds that the subjects of 
       conventional social science do not reflect the operation 
       of laws that social scientists are equipped to discover. 
       The author argues that much of the debate surrounding 
       sociobiology is irrelevant to the issue of its ultimate 
       success. Although largely conceptual, the book is an 
       unequivocal defense of this new theory in the explanation 
       of human behavior.
