Books on Participatory Dialogue Processes

A friend asked for some book recommendations as she is beginning to explore the world of participatory dialogue processes and hosting conversations that matter. Here are some I suggested to her:

• Community by Peter Block
• Turning to One Another by Margaret Wheatley
• Calling the Circle by Christina Baldwin
• The Circle Way by Christina Baldwin and Anne Linnea
• Emergent Strategy by adrienne maree brown
• Engaging Emergence by Peggy Holman
• Power and Love by Adam Kahane
• Walk Out Walk On by Margaret Wheatley and Deborah Frieze
• The Facilitators Guide to Participatory Decision Making by Sam Kaner
• The World Cafe by Juanita Brown and David Isaacs
• Open Space Technology: A Users Guide by Harrison Owen
• Standing In the Fire by Larry Dressler
• The Change Handbook by Peggy Holman

This could have been a much longer list but I tried to whittle it down to provide a good starting point. What one book would you have added as a “must read” for someone interested in participatory dialogue processes?
