Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Declaring that generosity is once again fashionable, management expert Handy (The Age of Reason) collaborates with his wife, Elizabeth, to investigate whether high-profile entrepreneurial philanthropists are visible signs of a global philanthropic trend. Celebrating the work of these new philanthropists and hoping to encourage others to follow their examples to instigate social change, the Handys profile the work of 23 humanitarians including British soccer star Tony Adams, Breast Cancer Haven founder Sara Davenport, filmmaker Jeff Skoll and Brazilian businessman Ricardo Semlar. Full-page black and white photos of each of the philanthropists begin each profile, along with a color photograph of five objects and one flower that the subjects feel best symbolize what is important in their lives. The stories are uplifting and show remarkable dedication to the causes each embraces—from cooking for the homeless to promoting peace efforts to working with underprivileged children. With its smooth narrative and discerning photographs, the authors' combined effort is a worthy tribute to committed individuals actively seeking to make the world a better place. (Aug.)
