Recenzii
'…rich in anecdote and detail as well as analysis and theory, this book represents the most important work of its kind since the pioneering studies by Lewis Mumford and the original Regional Planning Association of the 1920s.' Kirkpatrick Sale, The Nation
'Resettling America provides one of the most thorough and accessible introductions to the work in progress around the country, and more importantly, to some of the conceptual framework that will ultimately unify this work in a science of ecological design and "right livelihood".' John Peterson, Rain Magazine
'So many books on the future tend to be either highly theoretical or narrowly technical. Coates’ new anthology is different… He has arranged his anthology so that the theoretical pieces create a political-spiritual context for the pieces that describe what people and groups are actually doing. ' Mark Satin, Renewal Magazine.
