Synopsis

* The indispensable follow-up to Reasons for Hope
* Recommends action to improve rural living standards

From an outside perspective that contrasts the personal, firsthand views of the first text, the authors impart critical, dynamic ideas for improving the lives of those in rural communities. They contend that real progress depends less on money alone, and more upon passionate ideas, acting on those ideas through leadership, and implementing appropriate methods for change.

Review:

"Deserves to become a classic in its field. It is one of the few books written recently whose authors have been both willing and eminently able to tackle the entire field of rural development."
