"...Branford and Geddes' work and that of the Sociological Society deserves recognition and Scott and Bromley's research would be a great platform for introducing them in a freshman level sociology course." - International Social Science Review "Scott and Bromley are illuminating and sure-footed about the intellectual field that spawned the [sociological] Society. Theirs is surely an exhaustive account of the group's contribution to social reconstruction, politics, planning, civics, culture and education and, above all, sociology." - Sociological Review "...a significant contribution ... the most substantial effort to date to recover the life and work of a circle of early twentieth-century thinkers ... punchy and highly readable." - Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences "...a valuable book which will be of interest to a wide variety of scholars of the intellectual history of the later Victorian period." - Journal of Victorian Culture
