We are innovating with a new approach to book reviewing for the ARJ journal. Good books and excellent digital media are clearly invaluable inputs to our work as action researchers. But in a world awash with excellent content, how does the ARTist find gold?

Our aim with the journal itself is to support action researchers in their transformative work of creating sustainable and regenerative societies, places to live and work and of course to protect our planet (Bradbury, Waddell et al., 2019a). For this, we have elaborated seven quality choicepoints that guide a lot of what we do at the journal (Bradbury, Glenzer et al., 2019b) and in our ART more generally.
