THE CIVICALLY ENGAGED READER
An anthology designed for service and volunteer groups, as well
as for the classroom and the individual reader.
"This book is for anyone who has ever tossed a dime in a
panhandler's cup - or had one tossed in his own. It's for anyone
who has ever served at a soup kitchen, volunteered to bake
cookies, tutored a child, or fought in a war. Admittedly, it
raises as many questions as it answers and complicates as much as
it simplifies. But if you've ever considered the possibility of a
better world, and reflected on how you might take part in such a
place, this is the book to take along for the journey."

Books Foundation
