Author Description

Just when the world needs it most, a new style of social engagement is emerging: Active Citizenship. A key member of one of New York's most civic-minded families--one that has supported many of America's notable institutions and deserving programs--Jonathan Tisch has devoted a lifetime to "active citizenship." It's an idea that uses the power of practical creativity and grassroots participation to solve seemingly intractable problems. In "Citizen You," Tisch challenges readers to join this movement and points the way toward making our world a better place, one person and one neighborhood at a time.
