Super interesting layout and flow. Pretty much a big huge list of ideas for how to change our ideas around community.

This is exactly what I needed. I read it for the first time 42 years after it was published and it's just as relevant as ever. There are so many things that can be done in my community, and that others are doing, but having lived here as long as I have I find it difficult to see ways to change things...rather feeling like "well, this is just the way it's always been. It's not that bad." I turned to this book for inspiration and found what I was looking for. It is worth noting that there are some outdated references and also outdated terminology...I certainly don't fault the book for this and it doesn't render it not worth reading, just something to be aware of.

This is one of the only books from college that I still own. Changed how I think about the world in general and community development in particular!
