I liked the way this book presents both social ideas with copious amounts of studies into the different patterns followed by the hugely diverse range of examples of Commons covered in their research

I'm active in a number of different Commons, and found this book to be very practically useful on a daily basis. I'd pair it with Nonviolent Communication by Rosenburg to help with conflict resolution, and I think it's a great basis to start organising well in cooperatives/grassroots organisations
