Review :
"The various chapters in this volume represent the viewpoints of many recognized contributors to the growth of this field as well as some new voices. Guided by the careful, but provocative framing offered by the editors, the book holds form while providing an abundant 'democratic flowering of civic engagement' through which the two challenges that Saltmarsh and Hartley outlined are actively addressed... [T]his book offers an extensive review of strategies and examples of the kind of democratic engagement the authors describe. The diverse backgrounds and visions of the body of articles presented add richness to the discussion surrounding the future of civic engagement and service-learning on college campuses." Michigan Journal for Community Service Learning "...provide[s] perspective on the history and prospects of one of the most energetic reform movements in higher education over the last thirty years: strengthening civic learning and community involvement by students, faculty, and institutions." Mary Taylor Huber, Change, June 2012
