<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear friends,<br> <br>Every five years I revise the book on Civil Society I originally published with Polity Press in 2004. It's Groundhog Day again, and the third edition of the book comes out this month. It has lots of new and updated material, including on the role of social media and social enterprise, different trends in philanthropy, the Arab Spring and much else besides. I hope you'll give it a try and recommend it to your friends and colleagues.</div>
