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).
