Description: Peril and Promise, authored by South Dakota State University faculty and staff members and several other writers with SDSU affiliations, is a dynamic and engaging exploration of the idea of community, an idea which is being much discussed nationally and internationally as changes and potential changes which are of great concern are apparent everywhere. In prose and in poetry, the authors look back in order to look ahead, and they express with clarity and persuasive emphasis important perspectives which deserve extensive discussion and serious consideration.--[book cover].
