The “ReInhabiting the Village” project also secured a paperback book publishing deal with Robert Dr. Reed Publishers.

In addition to publishing books, Bob has been a co-author of more than 50 books and resource guides on a wide range of subjects, including: environmental issues, current affairs, health, business excellence, responsible leadership, helping women to get elected to political offices, creating high-quality education, effective parenting, psychology, ending domestic violence and child abuse, homelessness, human and animal rights, healing racism, and peaceful activism.
“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. I believe this ReInhabiting the Village can change the course of mankind by helping people realize the importance of the varied subjects covered. 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. It is the most beautiful book ever… a real piece of art on every page! The work it must have taken Jamaica Stevens to gather 68 authors and 14 artists to collectively have a similar vision to make this a better world and contribute to this book… it is mind-blowing! This book is an absolute masterpiece,” states Cleone L. Reed, M.S.E. Production Supervisor of Robert D. Reed Publishers.
