{"product_id":"the-careless-society-john-mcknight-9780465091263","title":"The Careless Society: Community and Its Counterfeits","description":"Amid all the hand-wringing about the loss of community in America these days, here is a book that celebrates the ability of neighborhoods to heal themselves from within. John McKnight shows how competent communities have been invaded and colonized by professionalized services -- often with devastating results. Overwhelmed by these social services, the spirit of community falters: families collapse, schools fail, violence spreads, and medical systems spiral out of control. Instead of more or better services, the basis for resolving many of America's social problems is the community capacity of the local citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John McKnight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465091261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465091263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.36w x 0.61d","brand":"John McKnight","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992999395583,"sku":"9780465091263","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5759e52c-29cc-49c9-83e0-0a35bd9a071c.jpg?v=1683321963","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-careless-society-john-mcknight-9780465091263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
