Reviews
“In this book Michael Tyldesley seems to have succeeded in bringing Maffesoli closer to us, in making him more familiar and, it is to be suspected, in introducing him to a whole new audience. If so, the whole enterprise will have been proved worthwhile.” – Dr. Philip Hodgkiss, Manchester Metropolitan University
