A few years ago when I first heard of the phenomenon called "intentional community" I was introduced to the Communities Directory. I found it to be the best single source of information on communities in the US -- and the all new edition is even better. The directory contains information about many aspects of community life in well written articles. It also provides description and contact information for over 700 communities around the world. In addition it lists many community-focused resources and contains an excellent recommended reading list. For anyone interested in finding "their" community, in locating community resources, in doing research -- or simply for the community curious -- this book is a must.

Ok, so I helped work on this book! But if you are interested in cooperative living this is *the* resource. There are over 500 intentional communities listed, everything from communes to land trusts to eco-villages, as well as 30 articles on cooperative living and a large resources section. A sample of the book is available at http://www.well.com/user/cmty/fic/cdir/index.html

The directory is a great quide for finding communities and groups of people who are serious about living in better ways and seeking more people also
