"To overcome the many problems inherent in rural development in tropical countries, most governments and aid agencies have put in the field teams of extension workers as 'Change Agents' who train and advise the local people to help themselves. This book is a practical companion for the Change Agent or for the agricultural or technical college student. It is concerned with both the attitudes and communication skills required by Change Agents, and it is one of the first to be published for those training in this area of extension work." (Back cover)
