Editorial Reviews
Mike Hudema'sAn Action a Day is an excellent addition to the library for anyone interested in public activism … This volume provides inspiration, practical details and, perhaps most critically, humour.
— Albertaviews
Hudema's work will make a nice Canadian content companion to Gene Sharp's class198 Methods of Nonviolent Action, or Abby Hoffman'sSteal this Book …An Action a Day is pleasantly full of non-linear chaotic interventions that contribute to enlivening the potential for change.
