BETTER TOGETHER: Restoring the American Community
Hey,
I had to read portions of this book during a Community Development course I took in grad school. I found it really helpful in wrapping my head around the idea of social capital and civic engagement.

Haven't read Better Together, but Putnam's previous book, "Bowling Alone" is one of my favorites and totally changed the way I think about communities and my role in helping shape them. I often check out the Social Capital blog, which is kept up by many of his colleagues at Harvard's Saguaro Seminar.

Cool, I will definitely check that out as well. There is also a report called "Better Together" which is of the Saguaro Seminar, that touches on everything that went down there in 2000.
