This is a much needed book. Arguably their most important book, A Thousand Plateaus remains to be fully understood. Somers-Hall, Bell, and Williams – important Deleuze and Guattari scholars in their own right – have brought together the best interpreters of Deleuze and Guattari. These interpreters systematically present A Thousand Plateaus plateau by plateau. The reader can examine a single plateau and then consult the corresponding chapter in A Thousand Plateaus and Philosophy. A Thousand Plateaus and Philosophy is not only a major contribution to our understanding of Deleuze and Guattari but also to thought itself. * Leonard Lawlor, Penn State University *
