The Architectural and Social History of Co-operative Living

• The Architectural and Social History of Co-operative Living
  Lynn F. Pearson - Macmillan, 1988 - 274pp

However much they may profess otherwise, most historians like to back winners or, as second best, to deal with individuals or movements that at some time have been significant. Lynn Pearson belongs to that much smaller band for whom history is a way of keeping alive certain ideals which, though never widely adopted, may yet prove triumphant. And unlike many of those who back an unpopular cause, she neither hectors nor complains, but presents her story with scrupulous care and patience.
