Great transaction!

Very fast delivery. The quality of the book is great. Thanks a lot!

"Readable, Challenging and Sophisticated"

"This is a fine book. At once readable and sophisticated, it is a challenging interpretation of the theoretical and practical significance of civil society as a concept and as a basis for action and hope about the future. Edwards writes with verve and lucidity, and draws upon his wide knowledge to reinforce his general points with an astonishing range of specific examples. It is, in my view, the best short treatment of the subject, and bound to be widely read and discussed."Professor Richard Falk, Princeton University
