Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -What if fourteen individuals, working for change in their own communities around the world, came together to tell their stories In A Definition of Snow, fourteen writers do just that. Gathered by Project VOICE over a period of three years, the writers describe their day-to-day experiences working in social, humanitarian, medical, development and peace-related fields, in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, in ways that are powerful, honest and thought-provoking.

It is not easy to change people's mentality and their convictions.'- Noha Rbeiz, Lebanon 264 pp. Englisch.…
