Shows how changes in work, family structure, women's roles, and other factors have caused people to become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and democratic structures--and how they may reconnect.

Selected Reviews:

"BOWLING ALONE is a rich, dense, thoughtful, and fascinating book....It is extremely readable...and is packed with information about the social and political habits of twentieth-century Americans."
