Larson (emer., Cornell Univ.) and Zimmerman (Univ. of Kentucky) nicely illustrate that high-quality research was produced during the years that Charles Galpin and Carl Taylor headed the division. Readers are provided with in-depth descriptive accounts of their tenures.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—P.

It provides history and context for our work, and shows the relevance and potential contribution of applied, policy-related research. The authors show a deep respect for Division staff, particularly Galpin and Taylor, as advocates for rural communities and visionaries for the future of rural sociology.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Kathryn Brasier \u003ci\u003eRural Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This volume is a landmark publication in rural women's studies and an invaluable resource for those who seek to extend research on American rural women.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Mary E.
