Philip Selznick TVA and the Grass Roots

The famous and influential study of politics in action at all levels in the creation and expansion of the Tennessee Valley Authority -- with all its land use, agricultural, political and human effects. Landmark application of political and social theory coupled with prodigious research and insightful analysis made this a legendary work. Newly republished in print and digital formats in the Classics of the Social Sciences Series from Quid Pro Books, this acclaimed book is presented to a new generation of social scientists and historians with a new Foreword by Berkeley law professor Jonathan Simon. All formats include embedded page numbers from prior editions for continuity of reference and citation. This edition is reproduced in modern format with hyperaccurate proofreading of text and notes, and properly formatted tables.
