John Fischer sees Vital Signs in the slow movement to resurrect the small community and in the emergence of a variety of new social inventions to make communities livable. This he writes "is the real greening of America." To spread the news Fischer produced a series of articles in Harper's Magazine. This book brings those articles together and connects them with broader arguments about dispersing population, developing instruments of public planning, and restoring life to smaller communities. The result is a lively, interesting and useful volume. For serious citizens and reformers, whether public or private this book should be priority reading.
