- 266 p.
This volume includes most of the articles used in the Regional Change Agents Training Programmes, with some additional material. In putting together the collection, the editors looked for material written in a relatively simple style and language by people who had some direct experience of field work; articles which were analytical and, what is more, stimulated more analysis and questioning on the part of readers. Some of the papers had to be rewritting in order to render them more accessible, and this may be a useful reminder to researchers who care about the impact of their work at the field level.
