'Gareth Edwards has done scholars from both leadership and community studies a real service by bringing their literatures together in a way that will mutually enrich both fields in years to come. This charming and elegant book models the kind of leadership necessary to engender the community spirit many of us crave in an increasingly complex and rootless world.'
