Trade Review
"Anderson's book has the distinct virtue of inviting serious questions and promising a good argument." -Journal of American Studies Association of Texas "This sprawling work devotes several chapters to American philosphers ... [but] also devotes chapters to visionary environmentalist Henry Bugbee and to Thomas Davidson, the founder in 1899 of the Breadwinners' College... Recommended." -Choice " ... Aims to illuminate what is distinctive about American thought ..." -American Studies
