Media Reviews
`It is a guide of vital importance to researchers, trainers and extension workers, especially those collaborating with communities in Third World countries. The tools and techniques adopted for these methods, as well as their implementation process, are detailed in a didactic manner. The practical case studies accompanying the various sections of the book greatly enhance the understanding of the work which also constitutes a contribution to the debate on the practicability of the concept of participation.... the book reflects the author's sound experience as well as a substantial effort at documentary research. This excellent book is worth recommending to development aid institutions in developing countries' - European Journal of Development Research
