"The prospects for public deliberation represent this generation's variation on the classic question of whether ordinary citizens are actually capable of self-government. Talking Together brings new empirical data to bear on this major issue. A well-crafted study based on research by three of the field's leading scholars, this book will be of great interest to political scientists, psychologists, sociologists, and anyone else whose work deals with political participation." - M. Stephen Weatherford, University of California, Santa Barbara"
