""What this book offers is the stimulation one gets from the
company of a group of committed, experienced and able people who do
the same job as you: you may not approach the job in quite the same
way, or have exactly the same aims, but it is a major surprise if
you do not come away with some new ideas, and renewed enthusiasm,
after engaging with them.""

different approaches to service-learning--theoretically, by field,
and in the scale of the activities in space and time. This makes it
useful and important reading for both those starting off in the
