"It's an extremely useful publication, which presents some refreshingly straightforward observations, whilst acknowledging the complexity of the politics and the practice. I will recommend it to students". Mae Shaw, Institute of Education, University of Edinburgh "Great book. I really relied on it in class as language was accessible and practical examples connected with the students." Sharon Mallon, Staffordshire University "A great resource so well written and informative." Sarah Banks, Professor of Community and Youth Work at Durham University "The Short Guide to Community Development is a valuable and concise contemporary account of community development."
