A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Meet the people, sample the flavor, and experience the kinship through 11 unique events and more than 25 inspiring projects Throughout history, we′ve gathered together in the market square. We′re there to buy and sell, to get good deals on fibers, fabrics, fruits, vegetables, and bread, but we′re also there to see friends, gossip, trade recipes, and admire new clothes. We′ve got an eye on each other′s animals, and we′re going to keep them from getting into any trouble. It′s our chance to hold someone else′s baby or to congratulate a new grandmother. It′s a chance to connect, to touch, and to bond with others. These days, it′s easy to feel like we live in scary times, and sometimes we′re less neighborly than we used to be. Our lives are filled with long distances and technology. We′re more likely to make cyberfriends than visit with someone down the street. Our lives are full of work, school, and caretaking, but how many of us still live near our families? Our hometowns? How do we reach out to one another? — From the Introduction
