Nadeau graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University and earned his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He describes how his co-op career began as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, followed by the lessons he learned while researching and developing dozens of cooperative projects in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.Readers will discover that we, especially when acting cooperatively with others, really CAN make a difference.Strengthening the Cooperative Community can be ordered for $10 through local bookstores and Amazon, or downloaded from https: //thecooperativesociety.org
