Review of the original edition of Rural Restructuring: ‘This book is an important supplemental source of ideas…although [it] has a strong sociological orientation, geographers will benefit from the authors’ efforts to interpret new developments in social theory as part of an analysis of rural change.’ M. Duane Nellis, The Geographical Bulletin, Vol 38, Issue 2.
