Fulkerson's work is always theoretically sound, and this book is no exception, but this entry into urban-rural scholarship makes practical sense as well. He advances an approach to strengthening communities--a task few social scientists have taken on--and he does so in a way that acknowledges the geographic, economic, cultural and political realities of people who live in these places. These applied contributions make the book invaluable for social scientists, regional planners, and anyone who seeks to be engaged in building stronger, sustainable communities. --Karen E. Hayden, Merrimack College

Fulkerson's new book does an admirable job in drawing from a range of classical and contemporary sources and multiple scholarly disciplines to provide a useful set of frameworks for thinking about rural people and places in an urbanizing world.--Kai A.
