The editors examine six key topics, including: how family upbringing influences the development of individuals who provide service to their communities; the types of institutions most likely to teach and transmit caring traditions; and the kinds of public policies that promote caring, service, and generosity. The book offers insightful analysis of how these factors interrelate and affect the ability of members of society to transmit caring traditions.

Why do so many people volunteer to help others in need in society today? What makes people give up the convenience of driving their car to benefit a better environment? And why are citizens, in general, quite prepared to pay taxes to ensure adequate health care, and support for the elderly and unemployed? These are examples of a more fundamental question addressed in this book: why do people cooperate for the welfare of their community, state, or organization? Cooperation in Modern Society is a unique collection of contributions from internationally reputed scholars across the social sciences.

In Hong Kong, like other modern societies, death and dying are identified as a crucial public health issue. Given developments in the Hong Kong healthcare system, some of the work of caring for dying people and their families has shifted to cross-disciplinary collaboration in community settings. This trend corresponds with a growing policy and practice emphasis on social relationships in non-medical forms of community-based care for dying people and their families. In the present study, abductive grounded theory methodology was used to examine the complex dynamics and mechanisms involved in social relationships between dying people (and their families) and volunteers and professionals in community-based social service agencies. The goal was to contribute to knowledge about how social relationships influence the experiences of dying people and their families, and to explore and engage theoretically with the concept of social capital as a dynamic, relational process. Relationships between social service agency staff and medical professionals were also explored. Through contacts with two community-based end-of-life (EOL) service agencies in Hong Kong, qualitative data were collected using 14 in-depth interviews with practitioners and 2 service users. The findings were used to develop a clear and parsimonious three-stage model of relational social capital development. In this model, relationships between service agency workers and families can be seen as addressing a key precondition of social capital through establishing trust, facilitating the accessibility of social capital through cultivating mutuality, and mobilizing social capital through fostering collaboration; all of these processes contribute to mitigating community detachment. Lastly, this study elucidates implications for policy and practice related to both health promotion and community engagement in the care of dying people and their families in Hong Kong communities.

At some point in their lives, virtually everyone has community care needs. Society is increasingly aware that community care does not solely concern the needs of elderly people or those with mental health difficulties. Indeed, in modern society Beethoven would qualify for services by virtue of his physical and sensory difficulties. Community Care and the Law has become the key text for anyone dealing with community care issues. Since its first publication in 1996, the area of community care law has continued to develop in a piecemeal fashion. Lawyers, advisers, local authorities and charities need a text to guide them through the resulting hotchpotch of complex and often overlapping legislative and case-law decisions. Community Care and the Law provides that guidance.

Attention to care in modern society has fallen out of view as an ethos of personal responsibility, free markets, and individualism has taken hold. The Liberalism of Care argues that contemporary liberalism is suffering from a crisis of care, manifest in a decaying sense of collective political responsibility for citizens’ well-being and for the most vulnerable members of our communities. Political scientist Shawn C. Fraistat argues that we have lost the political language of care, which, prior the nineteenth century, was commonly used to express these dimensions of political life. To recover that language, Fraistat turns to three prominent philosophers—Plato, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and William Godwin—who illuminate the varied ways caring language and caring values have structured core debates in the history of Western political thought about the proper role of government, as well as the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The Liberalism of Care presents a distinctive vision for our liberal politics where political communities and citizens can utilize the ethic and practices of care to face practical challenges.

Community care has long been the preferred policy for caring for dependent people. This book, first published in 1988, challenges accepted ideas about community care, arguing that it is based on assumptions about an 'ideal model' of family life which in practice disadvantages both disabled and older people and women carers alike.

Community shapes our identity, quenches our thirst for belonging, and bolsters our physical, mental, emotional, and economic health. But in the chaos of modern life, community ties have become unraveled, leaving many feeling afraid or alone in the crowd, grasping at shallow substitutes for true community. In this thoughtful and moving book, Paul Born describes the four pillars of deep community: sharing our stories, taking the time to enjoy one another, taking care of one another, and working together for a better world. To show the role each of these plays, he shares his own stories—as a child of refugees and as a longtime community activist. It's up to us to create community. Born shows that the opportunity is right in front of us if we have the courage and conviction to pursue it.
