Appreciating Appreciative Inquiry 
There are many excellent books and websites on Appreciative Inquiry (AI). This small book is a needed contribution to the AI field. It is brief, concise, and easy to follow.

The authors, who have many in-depth contributions to AI, have given us a great tool for sharing AI with many folk. Thanks.
