As reports funnel in from around the globe documenting the deterioration of the environment as well as widespread poverty, disease, and human rights abuses, a perceived lack of urgency in public policy can be immensely disheartening. Tactics of Hope addresses these frustrations, by profiling the heroic deeds of 30 socially-conscious players on the world-stage. From the business leader who donated computers to schools in Cambodia to mediators who taught conflict resolution in South Africa, these extraordinary people are unwilling to succumb to apathy — and their passion for change might just spark readers to increase their social awareness and make change.

Tactics of Hope is a great book for those thinking, "... but what can I do" about the global problems going on. I enjoyed reading the stories of many different people on many different levels -- ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the world. This book is inspirational and helpful for anyone interested in making a change on ANY level. I really liked it.
