David Sloan Wilson's new book, *The Neighborhood Project: Using Evolution to Improve My City, One Block at a Time<http://www.amazon.com/Neighborhood-Project-Using-Evolution-Improve/dp/0316037672/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313371250&sr=1-1> * has just been published. He looks for ways to make successful groups. It sounds a lot like Elenor Ostrom's conclusions (on making a successful commons). They both make a lot of sense. Here's an NPR interview<http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=140017376&m=140017716>from today.
