About this title: Modern society is plagued by fragmentation. The various sectors of our communities-businesses, schools, social service organisations, churches, government - do not work together. They exist in their own worlds as do so many individual citizens, who long for connection but end up marginalised, their gifts overlooked, their potential contributions lost. This disconnection and detachment makes it hard if not impossible to envision a common future and work towards it together. We know what healthy communities look like-there are many success stories out there and they've been described in detail. ...

"I had to read this book for class, and thus had something to which I needed to connect its contents: libraries. I think you do need an anchor for yourself while reading this book. A lot of the language is sort of out there. Somebody called it academic. I sort of feel like it's sort of new ageish, or progressive psychologistish. You know what I mean.
But there are some good things in here. You have to be patient, and stick with it, but there are lots of good ideas about getting unstuck. Or reasons why we should all let go and become unstuck at least."
"If you care about community, read this book. Block suggests that wise questions, intent, possibility and convening will inspire community engagement."
