Additional Description

General

Book Review. "The four books listed here are but a sampling of books devoted to the new utopianism and its close relative (in some instances, its legitimate offspring), the commune movement. Keyed as they are to classroom use, these volumes offer little more than a superficial description; but this should be introduction enough to inspire the reader to incorporate the study of utopian thought and its behavioral implications into the standard sociology course or program."
