Book Reviews of Restoring Americas Neighborhoods: How Local People Make a Difference

Book Review: Onward!
Summary: 5 Stars

If you've ever known the excitement, the fears, the satisfaction and the exhaustion inherent in working toward strong and healthy neighborhoods in America, this is the book!

It will provide companionship, pleasure, and people you'll want to meet someday.

It may even encourage you to take that next step or that new responsibility you've been thinking about.

If each of us will 'bloom where we are planted' and offer thoughtful action and generous concern to our neighborhood, or to a neighborhood nearby that really needs us, America is sure to be stronger and richer for a long time to come. I think that's the message of this book, along with some politically important points. [Like that it is neither fair nor wise to add unpleasant or dangerous land uses to neighborhoods that are already struggling to stay healthy.] I think you'll find it worth your time. I read it from cover to cover, though I thought I'd only browse.
