The research presented here is an interesting, well-defended addition to the literature on the nature of collective political action.\"--Choice \"Powerful and highly accessible... Levine has succeeded in shining a light on the disconcerting reality that many citizens abstain from getting involved in addressing the very issues that deeply affect and permeate their everyday lives.\"--John V.
