Download or read book Tapping the Green Market written by Abraham Guillen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a rapidly growing interest in, and demand for, non-timber forest products (NTFPs). They provide critical resources across the globe fulfilling nutritional, medicinal, financial and cultural needs. However, they have been largely overlooked in mainstream conservation and forestry politics. This volume explains the use and importance of certification and eco-labelling for guaranteeing best management practices of non-timber forest products in the field. Using extensive case studies and global profiles of non-timber forest products, this work not only seeks to further our comprehension of certification processes but also broaden understanding of non-timber forest product management, harvesting and marketing. It should be useful to forest managers, policy-makers and conservation organizations as well as for academics in these areas.
Download or read book Ethics for Fundraisers written by Albert Anderson and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 1996-03-22 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invoking a variety of classical and contemporary models, Albert Anderson examines what it means to think and act ethically. Proceeding from the views of Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill-who created perhaps the two most influential, albeit competing, ethical frameworks-Anderson poses the choice between what we understand to be our moral duty and what will likely result in the greatest good for the majority. He applies these notions to a wide range of situations familiar to nonprofit development officers, volunteer, and organizations. His goal is to help readers rethink decision-making and the principles that guide their decisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sperber. . .tackles the details, great and small, unearthing a treasure." —New York Times Book Review Shake Down the Thunder traces the history of the Notre Dame football program—which has acquired almost mythical proportions—from its humble origins in the 19th century to its status as the paragon of college sports. It presents the true story of the program's formative years, the reality behind the myths. Both social history and sports history, this book documents as never before the first half-century of Notre Dame football and relates it to the rise of big-time intercollegiate athletics, the college sports reform movement, and the corrupt sporting press of the period. Shake Down the Thunder is must reading for all Fighting Irish fans, their detractors, and any reader engaged by American cultural history.

Download or read book Fund Raisers written by Margaret A. Duronio and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 1997 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like those in any field becoming rapidly professionalized, fund raisers want to know more about their jobs so that they can plan their careers more proactively and effectively, as well as respond to increasing calls for accountability in nonprofit organizations. This book is one of the first to help fund raisers examine their career environment and make smarter choices about their careers. Fund Raisers offers an overview of fund raisers--their educational and career backgrounds, their values and concerns, and the challenges and rewards they experience in their work. Based on a three-year national study that included a survey of over 1,700 professional fund raisers and eighty-two personal interviews, it presents a comprehensive, detailed picture of contemporary fund raisers at all levels of professional achievement. The authors examine the critical issues facing the field, including: *The levels of compensation and overall compensation practices *Factors involved in entering and advancing in the field *The status of women and minorities in fund raising *The scope, impact, and reasons for turnover in the field *Perceptions of fund raisers from both inside and outside the field *Issues of accountability, ethical practice, licensing, and regulation Throughout the book, information from the survey and interviews provides the basis for discussion of these critical issues and the resulting conclusions and recommendations. The authors also include extensive case studies of many of the fund raisers interviewed in their research, who describe--in their own words--their own career paths, the satisfactions and challenges of working in fund raising, and their perceptions of the field's strengths and areas in need of improvement.
