No textbook is perfect nor can it meet the needs of every professor, but this text comes pretty close. -- Mary Migliaro 20130213 I have not found another comprehensive text that covers the material in as solid a fashion as Worth. -- Reid Zimmerman 20130213 The book balances scholarship with practical illustrations of how the nonprofit sector functions. -- Gregg Kaufman 20130213 I like the text and the way the chapters are structured; this structure will help me plan individual classes/lessons during the course. But more importantly, I think students will find the text easily understandable and helpful to them as they begin their careers as non-profit managers... It has much potential to contribute to students' understandings of successful management of non-profit organizations. -- Catherine Hansman 20130213 This book is a great introduction to the nonprofit sector for students new to the field. It combines depth with breadth to demonstrate the complexities and challenges of managing a nonprofit organization in today's dynamic environment. -- Georgette Dumont 20130213 This text does much to take some of the mystery out of nonprofit management. -- Kay Ham 20130213
