"Since I have been publishing books over the past forty plus years, I have encountered many important subjects. This book, along with the people and projects presented in it, has touched my heart.

It truly is meeting my goal of 'Making this a Better World One Book at a Time.' I AM HONORED," says Robert D. Reed, Ph.D, founder of Robert D. Reed Publishers.

"When I learned that we at Robert D. Reed Publishers were going to be publishing ReInventing the Village: CoCreating the Future, I was really excited.

This book is an absolute masterpiece," states Cleone L. Reed, M.S.E. Production Supervisor of Robert D. Reed Publishers.
