Review
"Among the book's considerable strengths are its methodological sophistication, its use of the concept of experiential search, and its treatment of the connectedness of decisions at individual. organizational, and policy levels." Contemporary Sociology"To my knowledge this is the first time someone has made the useful distinction between members, activists, and leaders in an interest group and actually produced data about the activists. I believe it is one of the best interest-group studies ever done."

Andrew McFarland, University of Illinois at Chicago"...an important book that should be read by interest group scholars and those interested in general represenation matters in American politics....What Rothenberg has provided is a way to think about and conduct research on individual groups as integrated entities. It is a large step in the right direction." Allan J. Cigler, American Political Science Review
