the current system of political decision making is broken or requires reform. Community, Democracy, and the Environment attempts to make the claim that deliberative democracy practices will result in more ecologically sound policies; however, with the exception of the hazardous waste site, Grant fails to provide concrete examples. While Grant acknowledges that “We need to discuss, participate in, and deliberate with each other over environmental policy directions and goals” ~p. 105!, the book fails to provide a wellreasoned and convincing argument for this case. Polls continually indicate that the environment is not the top priority for Americans. Thus, it is quite possible that citizens may deliberate and suggest weaker environmental policies. Grant also fails to adequately address the problem of participation among under-represented groups such as minorities, the less educated, and women. A discussion of the interrelationship between social justice and environmental issues would have proved fruitful in this endeavor. A final criticism is that the book is more like a series of papers rather than an integrated whole. The local issue, for example, is not related to the national and international issues.
