Here Comes Everybody, by Clay Shirky
It's billed as a guide to organizing without organizations -- yes!
So order it at amazon or go get it in person at B&N - do it this weekend, self!
PS> Another book I should also pick up (yesterday was the 2nd time I wrote it down at Susan's suggestion):
The Report Card, by Andrew Clement
From an online review: "The author is straightforwardly raising an issue of great importance to children -- the use and misuse of grades and testing in school. But the way his main character goes about it is questionable at best, raising even more issues -- giftedness, protest, rebellion, and achievement."
A school-wide read? Perhaps!
PPS> Oh, yeah -- Lawrence Lessig's book, too:
The Future of Ideas
"Powerful conglomerates are swiftly using both law and technology to "tame" the Internet, transforming it from an open forum for ideas into nothing more than cable television on speed." YIKES!
