The book spends alot of time on individual models, that are used for a central thesis, being an "evolutionary-behavioral theory of social development", where the individual models are defended against conflicting theories espoused by other scientist with alternative views, if you are interested of how scientific theories are developed and resolved in the present of incongruent data/alternative theories. Likewise the book criticizes other models and books by other scientists quite thoroughly.
I'm not sure if that is what you are looking for when you said "give good frameworks to understanding ... science" but the book illustrates process of developing a scientific theory.
