"Myron J. Pereira, SJ, brings together his years of experience in Development Communication as the director of ASTHA, a department of the Xavier Institute of Communications, Bombay. In this book he deals with sound slides, video, audio-cassettes and posters, street-plays and puppets and how they can be effectively used to transform the society. Essentially this is a 'how to' book. Numerous media practitioners are not professionals in any way. They are teachers, pastors, social workers, community organizers and political activists. But they are aware of the influence of modern communications and they would like to improve their skills and widen their perspectives both in communication and with the media. The book is meant for them." (Back cover)
