Rod MacRae writes "It's Winne's willingness to present the greyness of the change process that I find most appealing about the book. Gifted with a mane of silvery grey hair (mine long ago departed for another place), Winne is clearly comfortable with complexity, with measures that can only advance us so far until we come up with something better, with hoeing the rough and murky ground of personal and community transformation. He tackles many of the difficult subjects - poverty and race, what charity actually achieves, the marginal contributions made by some community projects, the cultures of co-dependence that ensnare both the poor and those working to alleviate poverty."
