Review

'... a fascinating reflexive account of the 'voyage of discovery' undertaken by a research community, and makes stimulating reading for anyone interested in participatory integrated assessment research.' Environmental Values

'... a solid, rigorous contribution that will be useful for scholars in the sociology of science, citizenship studies and environmental education as well.' Political Studies Review

'... the forensically detailed write-ups of the data, including copious quotations from participants, assists the reader in judging the value of the research – a degree of flexibility for which the authors ought to be commended ... The book addresses many intriguing issues.' Public Administration
