Excellent book on the subject. Extremely well laid out to make it less wordy & less of a typical text book. The use of graphics really helps to reinforce the messages.
Particularly liked the section on Classic Facilitator Challenges as it makes you realise that you are not alone in sometimes things not working as hoped and giving good ideas to counter problems.
