Pressezitat
'HIV/AIDS is devastating the world, especially the vulnerable and the poor, who bear the brunt of humiliation, discrimination and stigma. Restoring Hope is a heartfelt plea from different faiths, and philosophical and ethical perspectives for decent care, which treats people living with HIV as collaborators. It is a plea, I pray we heed.'- Desmond Tutu, Nobel Laureate and Archbishop Emeritus, Cape Town, South Africa
'This collection of 17 essays is a thoughtful discourse that beautifully integrates philosophical, socio-political, and spiritual perspectives.' - Susan Bauer-Wu, NightingaleDeclaration.net
'This is a book for visionaries,for realists, for strategists and for carers...whatever your starting point, read this book and allow it to change your perceptions and your practice.' - HIV Medicine
'This book fills a void in the literature in that it is perhaps the first book to provide a rationale for decent care that extends across most of the world's major belief systems.' - Central European Journal of Public Health
