      abstract = {"Despite plentiful evidence on poverty and reduced health  chances and on the benefits of co-operative social networks  and social capital, the nature of the relationship between  them remains uncertain. Yet an enhanced understanding is  needed if we are to gain, not only a more effective  purchase on social processes involved in well-being, or on  links between poverty and place, but also of the stratagems  people adopt to challenge or cope with social and economic  difficulties and resist their deleterious effects. Drawing  on key concepts and on community studies conducted in East  London housing estates, this book brings together diverse  strands of influence on participatory community life and  individual well-being. Residents' rich narratives are used  to emphasize the significance of different social network  patterns for mediating disadvantage and happiness. The book  makes a timely contribution to post 2010 policy agendas and  to current political debates on the 'big society' and the  'good society'"--},
