Conventional textbooks present PAR from a distanced perspective and with the assumption that beginners will gain practical PAR knowledge on their own. This book provides real world examples--first-hand accounts by the researchers who designed and implemented these PAR innovations. Shared recommendations and lessons learned provided in the final chapter are a unique contribution to students and early career researchers.
