Nonprofit Nation: Exploring the Third America - Insights for Social Entrepreneurs, Philanthropists & Community Leaders | Perfect for Nonprofit Research, Advocacy & Social Impact Studies

This is a great introductory resource to the nonprofit sector, and specifically, the subsectors within the field. For the reviewer that gave 1 star, due to what he describes as out of date statistics, you probably didn't read the book. That is because most of the statistics are used to show consistent trends in the sectors--it's the type of publication that could probably be updated every 10 years, but the stats are accurate and easy to read and use. I think this text would ring true to nonprofit professionals, and give some insight to folks considering a career in the field. It provides good historical and contemporary info on the fields, it's a straightforward and easy read, and it's a must for professionals in the nonprofit field. I think it would also be helpful to board members--especially new board members.
