Title: No One Really Wants To Be The Unibowler, But.......
Review: This book is a useful tome for those attempting to invigorate their communities or organizations. The usefulness rests in the fact that Putnam illustrates the extent to which group membership provides positive benefits for society and community members. What Putnam argues is that being a member of civic groups and associations will provide participants with the skills needed to develop greater political efficacy. This is a good thing, but it can only come if individuals possess the time to devote to joining clubs. Putnam even argues that women leaving home is part of the reason we see fewer clubs and groups. The lesson of this book is that we should encourage membership and to make the environment more favorable to such participation. Anyway, the book is well read and not to over written. It is as enjoyable as a political book can be. ;)
