From the preface: This book is intended as a source book for our students, as a way of introducing them to and assisting them in their shared--our shared--mission for the creation of better, more fulfilling and more productive work places, places where the potential for OD and OD values are most fully realized.

Consistent with our intent to provide our students the opportunity to share in learning about appreciative inquiry, we have waived all royalties in an effort to provide the book at the lowest possible cost.
