"Visions, imaginaries, and fictional expectations are central for an understanding of our energy futures, determining what is desirable and undesirable, achievable or impossible. Energy visions should feature centrally in our research and policy mixes, and I welcome Visions of Energy Futures for ambitiously pushing such an agenda forward." -- Maarten Hajer, Professor of Urban Futures, Utrecht University,The Netherlands

"Visions, discourses and framings of low-carbon innovations shape meanings and legitimacy that, in turn, influence support from various actors, including policymakers and funders. Contributing to debates about the performative roles of visions, Benjamin Sovacool’s new book draws important lessons from six case studies across various countries and domains, which illuminate how future energy systems are affected by discursive strugglesat present. Important reading for students and scholars alike." -- Frank Geels, Professor of System Innovation, University of Manchester, UK
"Technology is rooted in the future. Hence, the development and use of low-carbon energy systems requires fundamental changes in how the future is imagined. Benjamin Sovacool elegantly explores and explains how imaginations of the future could feed, guide and inspire technological innovations in six state-of-the-art energy systems. This book provides an important and timely contribution to the questof energy transitions." -- Harro van Lente, Professor of Science and Technology Studies, Maastricht University, The Netherlands

“…forcefully and effectively opposes cultural models that strongly dichotomize social reproduction and social recreation.”   ·  JRAI

	"an interesting anthropological attempt, or, rather, an impressive empirical contribution to exploring diverse contemporary themes in modern sports and leisure activities. In many ways, their book, which comprises nine different and exciting empirical cases covering a rich ethnographic area, intends to expand and broaden the term 'sport' as something more than just purely being an activity carried out for mental, physical or bodily restitution; it is a site of meaning production as well as consumption performed by individuals across the globe. ... the book represents an important contribution to the study of leisure."   ·  Idrottsforum.org

'In substance, as in style, the writing is relatively abstruse in nature. Discerning review of selected research evidence, in tandem with a case-study method of instruction, imbue the text with great didactic richess. By these means, the terrain of mental health and later life, including its practice, policy and research strata is illumined brightly with rays of thoughtful perspicacity.' - Leo Uzych, Activities, Adaptation and Aging Journal2012
