All That We Share. The commons simply means all that we share. From water and parks to artistic legacies and the worldwide web, many important assets belong to us all—and should be used to benefit everyone, including future generations.
If that makes sense to you, then you’re a commoner. And the new book All That We Share: A Field Guide to the Commons will show how this new way of thinking can guide us to practical, positive solutions to the challenges of our times. A strong dose of optimism is the antidote for these times. Give this hopeful and uplifting book to yourself and others!
