Reviews
In this second edition Eric James has clearly articulated the new trends in humanitarian relief making it not only a wide ranging informative overview of the entire humanitarian sector but a very current book for now and the immediate future. --Andy Bastable, Head of Water and Sanitation, Oxfam Global Humanitarian Team Dr. James has built upon his prior work to address one of the most critically important topics in the aid world; that of managing field programs and leading teams. His emphasis on practical field skills has made his book an important addition to our humanitarian leadership training, and essential reading for all of those who oversee humanitarian programming. His book represents an important step toward professionalizing humanitarian aid. --Michael VanRooyen, Director, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative & Humanitarian Academy at Harvard University Disasters and emergencies are by their nature chaotic. Eric James's practical advice, based on many years of experience, will be a bedrock for those who must turn the chaos of future relief operations into coordinated support for people affected by disaster. The updated Managing Humanitarian Relief fills a real gap in the market. --Robert Hodgson, Hon Coordinator, RedR International I strongly recommend Managing Humanitarian Relief by Eric James. Besides being very knowledgeable it also has the great but rare virtue of clarity. It actually can be of value to a wide variety of practitioners. --Martin McCann, Chief Executive, RedR UK Managing Humanitarian Relief is a critically important resource for practitioners -- a remarkable roadmap for responsible engagement in the field. This book is also extraordinarily valuable for students who aspire to careers in scholarship or practice around humanitarian issues. --Eric Schwartz, former Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration, and Dean, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota
