Sociological Book Club: Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 11:00 am:  “Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again” by Robert Putnam with Shaylyn Romney Garrett. From the bestselling author of “Bowling Alone”, see how America has vacillated from the gilded age of selfishness and isolationism to a more equitable and egalitarian society towards to end of last century.  This book questions what was lost and then regained now remains in limbo—are we—can we become a more just and caring nation escaping self-interest.  Does history provide a guiding life of how we can change? Referred by The New Republic as a magnificent and visionary book.
