Far more than a ""how to do it"" handbook. The pages are filled with thought-provoking suggestions, and nothing is taken for granted. The book was inspired by ""questions we dared not ask"", as the authors confess, and it does indeed consider a range of sensitive issues about power, ownership, initiation and value.
