TVA and the Grass Roots: A Study of Politics and Organization is a 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.
