shis is a wonderful book to review because the author's project is ambitious and he has done a great deal of work to establish the authority of his contribution. The project tries to bridge the gap between formal and cultural analysis in law. This enterprise, specifically the marriage between Law and Economics and Law and Society, could disappoint partisans in both camps. My sense, however, is that it won't disappoint because we want to see the gap as bridgeable through careful research. Even if one can't quite grant the coming together of these two worlds, whether for political or metaphysical reasons, the book contains vivid portrayals of community norms and jurisprudential scrutiny of assumptions in the social sciences of law. Ellickson is a distinguished legal scholar who has contributed substantially to the study of property over the past 20 years. His work includes a score of law review articles and the case book Land-Use Controls (1981). Recently, he has taken his theoretical interest in politics and law to a variety of settings and confronted both Critical and Economic scholars on various issues surrounding ownership and possession (1989a, 1982b). He has appeared on symposia dealing with property as political philosophy and public policy (1982b; 1989b; Shearmur 1988; Fischl 1983) and on programs of the Federalist Society which examined property in relation to the welfare state and beyond (1988, 1990
