Block, Peter, Community: The Structure of Belonging. San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc., 2008.

Modern society is plagued by fragmentation. The various sectors of our communities--businesses, schools, social service organizations, churches, government--do not work together. We know what healthy communities look like--there are many success stories out there, and they've been described in detail. What Block provides in this inspiring new book is an exploration of the exact way community can emerge from fragmentation: How is community built?
