A great introduction to the history and components of community development and asset building. Green & Haines identify the several forms of community assets, including cultural, political, capital, and others. I found this book easy to read, albeit a little too wordy at times. The highlighted sections and case studies help to clarify points, but can often run on for a few pages making it difficult to find an appropriate place to break in the text to focus on the additional points.
