In 'Better Together', Putnam and long-time civic activist Lewis Feldstein describe some of the diverse locations and most compelling, innovative ways in which American civic renewal is taking place today. The authors take readers to a dozen places where people are engaging in social activism and community renewal.
A mentoring and reading program in Philadelphia brings together retirees and school children, benefiting both groups. In Chicago, new branch libraries expand their mission and become community centers. Putnam and Feldstein introduce us to a thriving country of activists, from Maine to California, whose experiences offer valuable insights into how we may revitalize all American communities in the 21st century.
