Reviews

An excellent, concise, critical study. Joel Wainwright, coauthor of Climate Leviathan: A Political Theory of Our Planetary Future Wyly's approach is sweeping in scope yet detailed in its discussion of the archival evidence. He places great store in sociopolitical and disciplinary context, and makes strong linkages between the past and the present intellectual contexts. The scholarship is meticulous. The writing is fluid and lively. Audrey Kobayashi, Queen's University
