Sociability, Social Capital, and Community Development A Public Health Perspective

“The book complements research on the rising importance of social capital in public policy as a way forward or a ‘third way’ to capitalism. The book is mainly intended for contemporary policy makers of public health care, a general readership concerned with issues in sociology, and undergraduate students studying community development. … The book is well written, interesting, and reads easily from one case study to another as each chapter follows a systematic structure throughout.” (Karim W. F. Youssef, Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, April, 2015)
