The American Way was Mathew Miller's first widely published book, co-authored with Jonathan L. Morran, PhD. Within these 225 pages are inspiring dialogs drawn from family histories, reunions, and stories from America's most famous families, including the Kennedys, the Rockefellers, and the Carnegies. "The American Way" asked the question, "What exactly are the ties that bind?" and explores strong families and their roles in community, industry, religion, and politics. In the preface, Norman E. Isaacs wrote, "...a superbly written anthology of American culture, examined through the eyes of two brilliant young authors." |

Communities in Action showcased Mathew's groundbreaking ideas about the glue that brings people together for a purpose. In this book, Mathew profiles community groups, political action groups, special interest groups, and the emerging Internet forums and newsgroups. A number of religious and new age groups are also traced to their origins, including insights into the interpersonal dynamics and social conflict experienced in ancient monasteries and modern communes. To produce this volume, Mathew traveled with and analyzed dozens of political protest groups, and participated in numerous volunteer and philanthropic organizations. |

Pulling Together chronicles the volunteer effort in New York City as it developed after the 9-11 tragedy. Drawing from Mathew's first-hand experience as a ground-zero volunteer coordinator, this volume brings to light the first detailed account of the infighting between large charitable organizations, and the coalescing energy that infused small groups of all kinds. This book tells the story of more than forty 9-11 relief groups that were formed on an impromptu basis and their efforts to find a role in the stabilization and healing effort following America's greatest tragedy in the new millennium. This book also tells the story of the United Nations declaration of 2001 as the International Year of the Volunteer, and the volunteer efforts that came pouring into New York from around the globe. |
