Reviews
'This is an impressive addition to the research literature on Philanthropy, one which takes a broad view of the nature of Philanthropy and its demographic and geographic reach. It both challenges and expands prevailing views.' - Jenny Onyx, Emeritus Professor, University of Technology Sydney, Australia 'This collection provides a comprehensive and important reference volume on the changing nature of philanthropy. It will be valuable reading to anyone interested in this field.' - Patrick M. Rooney, Professor of Economics and Philanthropic Studies, Indiana University, USA 'This rich compendium of research findings and reflection gives us multiple perspectives on the 'old-new' concept of philanthropy. It focuses on current practices and dilemmas whilst constantly reminding us about historical roots and the diversity of international and national experience.' - Margaret Harris, Emeritus Professor, Aston Business School, UK 'A desk side publication for all scholars and practitioners wanting a comprehensive reference to critical understandings of contemporary philanthropy.' - Professor Myles McGregor-Lowndes, Australian Centre for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies, Australia 'Simply put, I wish a book of this sort had been written several years ago at a time when I would have been able to absorb the multi-disciplined philanthropy world before the start of my study and work in this space. But hey ho. Although it is written with academics in mind, practitioners (and academics at the start of their practice) should not look at this heavy book with fear. It will become the philanthropy bible of its time.' - Juliet Valdinger, Alliance Magazine
