dc.description.abstract Savile (1978) has managed to come up with this book Extension in Rural Communities which gives theoretical and practical knowledge to community advisors and extension workers. The author has developed impressive topics and sub-topics on Extension in Rural Communities which are applicable to developing and developed countries. The author has managed to share his practical and theoretical understandings on extension education for rural communities in order to create a global socio-economic transformation. This transformation intends to create conducive and enabling environment for sustainable rural development by critically taking into consideration issues encompassing agriculture, high standards of living, formation and running of co-operative societies, land reforms, organising farmers, rural community leadership and farm expansion. Therefore, this book “Extension in Rural Communities” is an important source which highlights critical and current issues impinging community members in their development process. Apart from increasing the knowledge base, providing policy-relevant and pushing forward development efforts, “Extension in Rural Communities Book” serves as a solid reference point for current and future scholars, extension workers, researchers and policy makers interested in rural development across the globe. Despite the strengths of this book; it has the following shortcomings: The arrangement of the chapters and sub-chapters lacks a good chronological order. At the same time, the author has put too much emphasis on agriculture and very little one on non-agricultural related economic activities. Furthermore, the author has been discussing about community programs and remained silent on community development project and finally, the entire book has been discussing on how to improve agricultural production and unfortunately nothing has been said on how to improve/secure markets for the agricultural produce. en_US
