Building and Community Development by Anna Haines, et al
List $58.95

provide an engaging, thought-provoking, interdisciplinary
overview of the community development field. They explore
the history of the community development movement in the

asset-based approach that considers human, physical, social,
financial, and environmental capital, the authors skillfully
demonstrate how local organizations are better able to meet
community needs than governmental programs or market
strategies.
Lively and informative, this
well-crafted introduction to community development will
appeal to students and to practitioners who want an
understanding of the basic concepts and theories behind
their activities.

The
Substance of Style: How the Rise of Aesthetic Value Is
Remaking Commerce, Culture, & Consciousness by
Virginia Postrel List $13.95 - In this
penetrating, keenly observed book, Virginia Postrel shows
that the "look and feel" of people, places, and
things are more important than we think. Aesthetic pleasure
taps deep human instincts and is essential for creativity
and growth. Drawing from fields as diverse as fashion, real
estate, politics, design, and economics, Postrel deftly
chronicles our culture’s aesthetic imperative and argues
persuasively that it is a vital component of a healthy,
forward-looking society.

write is to sit and stare, hypnotized… feeling the divine
fever moving to one’s cheeks while the hand glows
blissfully numb on the paper.”
