"Transformational Politics will primarily interest adherents of the transformational political paradigm, but it may find a large audience among those interested in the Green movement and alternative methods for teaching and research." - Southeastern Political Review "The information in this book is cutting edge scholarship. This is the first full-scale attempt to pull together the vision and perspectives of the Transformational Politics group into a coherent statement that can be shared among themselves and with other scholars. The book will be the reference document for this branch of study for some time." - Lester W. Milbrath, State University of New York at Buffalo, Emeritus "I am very enthusiastic about the work. As a teacher and a researcher, I found that the book provides rich teaching material and a wonderful synthesis of valuable resources." - Richard Couto, University of Richmond
