520    "This book addresses a key issue in higher learning, 
       university education and scientific research: the 
       widespread difficulty researchers, experts and students 
       from all disciplines face when trying to contribute to 
       change in complex social settings characterized by 
       uncertainty and the unknown. More than ever, researchers 
       need flexible means and grounded theory to combine people-
       based and evidence-based inquiry into challenging 
       situations that keep evolving and do not lend themselves 
       to straightforward technical explanations and solutions. 
       In this book, the authors propose innovative strategies 
       for engaged inquiry building on insights from many 
       disciplines and lessons from the history of Participatory 
       Action Research (PAR), including French psychosociology. 
       The ongoing evolution of PAR has had a lasting legacy in 
       fields ranging from community development to education, 
       public engagement, natural resource management and problem
       solving in the workplace. All formulations have in common 
       the idea that research must be done 'with' people and not 
       'on' or 'for' people. Inquiry of this kind makes sense of 
       the world through efforts to transform it, as opposed to 
       simply observing and studying human behaviour and people's
       views about reality, in the hope that meaningful change 
       will happen somewhere down the road. The book contributes 
       many new tools and conceptual foundations to this 
       longstanding tradition, grounded in real-life examples of 
       collective fact-finding, analysis and decision-making from
       around the world. It provides a modular textbook on 
       participatory action research and related methods, theory 
       and practice, suitable for a wide range of undergraduate 
       and postgraduate courses, as well as working 
       professionals."--Publisher's website.
