Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review...a useful compilation that the audience for which it is designed will find helpful in many aspects of their studies....a good reference work and deserves recognition as such... * Utopian Studies *
A very brief history of utopianism occupies the book's dozen and a half pages of front matter. Even at its most brief, this brief for utopia is instructive and readers will do well not to omit it. Following this comes the book's major feature: an alphabetic list of people, movements, societies, associations, and more. Entries, more than 600 in all, cover everything from the earliest times, to the Shakers and the Oneidas of U.S. soil, to those of the most recent Far East conflicts. A list of utopias, their locations, and duration closes out the book. * American Reference Books Annual *
Recommended. All collections. * CHOICE *
