<blockquote>Kenneth Bollen's new book, ''Structural Equations with Latent Variables'' is a "comprehensive introduction" to the LISREL approach to covariance structure analysis. It is clearly written, insightful, and complete covering both basic and advanced topics, with Bollen providing his own insights into controversies and recent developments making good use of empirical examples to illustrate important points. He also stresses, at every point, that substantive knowledge and the theory of the process being
