Do you want to enhance your understanding of service
learning? Andrew Furco and Shelley Billig have authored
the first in a set of comprehensive research volumes that
present and discuss a wide range of issues in the field. This
volume explores various themes, issues and answers that
will help faculty understand the essence of service learning.
The chapters of the book provide varying and, at times,
opposing perspectives on some of the critical issues
regarding service learning research and practice. This book
is a wonderful resource for faculty wanting to know more
about the pedagogical effectiveness of service learning.

“A book of inspiration and integrity. Soul of a Citizen is an
antidote to the twin scourges of modern life—powerlessness
and cynicism. In his evocative style, Paul Loeb tells moving
stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected
fulfillment in social involvement. Through their example
and Loeb’s own wise and powerful lessons, we are
compelled to move from passivity to participation. The
reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of
connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life.”
