As our awareness and understanding builds around the fact that the world and relationships can't improve without inviting men to join in, books, tapes and videos are some great ways of allowing men to do some of the important individual work in preparation for their full participation with others. Review the following. Consider giving yourself and a friend a gift of some of this knowledge. Please purchase/order books from bookstores who have shown their support for men by setting up a separate men's issue section (refer to Bookstores).
