Building Stronger Communities

Based on recent Australian research as well as years of hands-on experience by the authors in working with different types of communities, ""Building Stronger Communities"" is a very readable book that examines in a lucid and practical way means by which communities can be strengthened. The book differs from comparable volumes in that it includes extensive material on communities of interest, as well as those based on locality. The book includes useful principles and pointers for students, community workers, designated community leaders, policy makers and ordinary citizens. Each chapter includes a brief introductory overview and concludes with a set of review questions for reflection that will be useful for the individual readers and those using the work as a textbook.
