The Directory contains 540 listings for intentional communities in North America and 70 communities on other continents.
Every listing includes contact information and a full description.
There are also easy to use maps, cross-reference charts, and an extensive index for finding communities by areas of interest and by state. In addition there are thirty-one feature articles covering various aspects and issues of cooperative living, an alternative resources and services section. A new edition of the book has just been published with a new introduction which connects the Y2K issue to the central argument. It was my thesis in Reworking Success that the directions in which we have moved for the twentieth century are no longer viable. Y2K is one of many issues that are making this statement more and more obviously true.
