(by Jane): This is a very well written and organized book about sharing and community building to best meet the triple bottom line of personal, environmental, and financial goals. Many chapters include sidebars about how businesses, nonprofits, community leaders, and developers can help encourage these practices. Of note are chapter 4 (meetings and mediation), Ch 6 (house sharing, including a list for tenants in common), Ch 7 (sharing groups - (household goods, purchases, & tasks), & Ch 8 (sharing food (coops, meal exchanges, potlucks). Also included is an extensive reference list and worksheets to get started.
