It examines selected theories, philosophies, and perspectives descriptive of community life by scholars from several disciplines.
Reviews
“The book is practical for those engaged in planned community change and should be a staple on reading lists for upper level undergraduates and graduate students alike.” – Karen Patricia Williams.
"Anderson understands groups and communities well, and his chapters on how to intervene should prove useful to both the theoretician and the practitioner. . . . this book should prove useful as required reading in courses in community organization and community development, and as a reference for those working in the field." - David J. Kallen
"Anderson's volume provides a great deal of information about the literature on community and community development. It also presents a theory and models that certainly will be of interest to those involved in planned community change." -- Jan Fritz in Scholarly Research and Review
