Summary: Practical advice and tools for building and evaluating coalitions
Comment: This is the single book you will need to facilitate growth and evaluation of coalitions. This book is excellent for the researcher as well as the practitioner. It is not just another theory book but one that will give you concrete advice and tools. You won't need a PhD to read and use this book but all levels of practice and research will soon find this book to be their favorite resource.

This book is a must first-read book for all of our funded grantees working with coalitions. We provide this book to all funded sites, fellows, and evaluation staff.

Coalitions are a great resource for promoting community change but they can quickly run off-track without the right nurturing. This book will be the resource of choice for anyone charged with the nurturing of a coalition.

Summary: Rates an A+: Coalitions and Partnerships in Community Health
Comment: Coalitions and Partnerships in Community Health by Frances Butterfoss is a comprehensive text that is an invaluable resource for those working to create stronger collaborations for improved community health, as well as for researchers and academicians preparing future health educators. The rich experience of the author of over fifteen years of building, leading, evaluating, and consulting on coalitions and partnerships is evident as she combines her practical experience and insights with proven research to make her points.

Dr. Butterfoss eloquently makes the case for why coalitions and partnerships are important in the first sentence of her book: "...coalitions and partnerships successfully bring people together, expand resources, and focus on a problem of community concern better than any single group or agency could do alone...." This book provides not only a philosophical and theoretical basis but also practical guidance and tools on how to develop and sustain successful partnerships and coalitions.

The book is divided into four main parts covering the importance of coalitions and partnerships, building and sustaining the coalition or partnership itself, and the planning and evaluation of activities.

This text of over 500 pages truly is a one-stop shop for creating effective coalitions and partnerships. The wisdom and insights found in Butterfoss's book provide a detailed roadmap for thoughtful groups of people who make up coalitions and partnerships and who are endeavoring to change the world by improving the quality of life through healthier and safer lives.

Summary: Coalition Bible
Comment: I was searching Amazon.com for books on coalition building and came across this book last spring and ordered it as I was a part of starting a state coalition for diabetes. And I am really glad that I did. It not only gave our coalition a great working foundation full of wisdom and knowledge from someone who has been there, but I know that we are forming a solid coalition using the tools and suggestions that are in the book. It really has been our coalition bible, and my book is highlighted, underlined, with post-it note tabs through out the book because the information is so valuable and useful. This is the perfect book if you are developing a coalition, would like to develop one, or have a coalition already in existence. You will avoid pitfalls and build a strong coalition following the recommendations in this book. You will not be disappointed with it.

Summary: Butterfoss Offers Wealth of Coalition Knowledge
Comment: Dr. Fran Butterfoss has written the quintessential resource for anyone interested in how communities organize themselves for positive change. Every tool needed for forming, growing, evaluating, and strategically propelling a coalition towards positive action is in this book. It serves as an excellent academic text as well as a community coalition handbook; and principles applied to community health are also useful to issues across disciplines. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in building coalitions and partnerships.
