Customer Reviews

Good book but not enough commentary

I ordered this book for school- it contains good material and has thoughtful questions, but I just didn't think it pulled through in analysis. Maybe some additional "reflection" sections would be good.

Guide for Change: Strategy for success is easy to see!

In addition to co-authoring the immensely successful "Writing for Change," Ann Watters has pulled through again with her latest effort, "A Guide for Change." This powerfully-written reference has but one purpose: to ensure that today's crop of young idealists has the resources it needs not just to argue about contemporary conditions, but to effect changes in the very infrastructure of our society. "A Guide for Change" is the latest in Watters's series of outstanding textbooks, and is sure to become one of the most popular.
