书籍简介

二十年前，罗伯特·d·帕特南做了一个看似简单的观察:有一次我们在联赛中打保龄球，通常是下班后;但不再。这个看似微不足道的现象象征着一个重大的社会变化，这个变化成为广受赞誉的畅销书《独自打保球》的基础。《华盛顿邮报》称这本书为“一本非常重要的书”。

《独自打保龄球》详细调查了几十年来美国人行为的变化，显示出我们与家人、朋友、邻居和社会结构的联系是如何日益疏远的，无论是与家庭教师协会、教会、俱乐部、政党还是保龄球联盟。修订版的经典作品,普特南显示了如何缩小访问的“社会资本”是公共活动的奖励和社区分享仍然对我们的个人健康构成严重的威胁,以及这些后果有一个新的共振对我们今天分裂的国家。他包括了关于社会媒体和互联网无处不在的影响的批判性新材料，它们为社会联系带来了以前无法想象的机会，同时也带来了空前程度的疏远和孤立。

出版的时候,普特南的then-groundbreaking工作表明社会债券是有力的预测生活满意度,以及社会资本的丧失是觉得在关键方面,作为一个强有力的预测犯罪率和其他措施的社区的生活质量,并在其他方面影响我们的健康。几十年来，我们联系或断开联系的方式发生了变化，但他的核心论点仍然像以往一样强大和紧迫:修补我们受损的社会资本，是维护我们社会结构的关键。

Twenty years, ago, Robert D. Putnam made a seemingly simple observation: once we bowled in leagues, usually after work; but no longer. This seemingly small phenomenon symbolized a significant social change that became the basis of the acclaimed bestseller, Bowling Alone, which The Washington Post called “a very important book” and Putnam, “the de Tocqueville of our generation.”

Bowling Alone surveyed in detail Americans’ changing behavior over the decades, showing how we had become increasingly disconnected from family, friends, neighbors, and social structures, whether it’s with the PTA, church, clubs, political parties, or bowling leagues. In the revised edition of his classic work, Putnam shows how our shrinking access to the “social capital” that is the reward of communal activity and community sharing still poses a serious threat to our civic and personal health, and how these consequences have a new resonance for our divided country today. He includes critical new material on the pervasive influence of social media and the internet, which has introduced previously unthinkable opportunities for social connection—as well as unprecedented levels of alienation and isolation.

At the time of its publication, Putnam’s then-groundbreaking work showed how social bonds are the most powerful predictor of life satisfaction, and how the loss of social capital is felt in critical ways, acting as a strong predictor of crime rates and other measures of neighborhood quality of life, and affecting our health in other ways. While the ways in which we connect, or become disconnected, have changed over the decades, his central argument remains as powerful and urgent as ever: mending our frayed social capital is key to preserving the very fabric of our society.
