Review Quotes: "Bruce Peabody uses film to illustrate the vexing challenges posed by the complexities of many problems in our modern interdependent world and the skills of leadership needed to contend with them. An insightful book that is very useful for teaching. As my neighbors in Maine would say: 'This book is wicked good!'" --Jeffrey K. Tulis, Professor of Government, The University of Texas at Austin
