{"product_id":"philanthropy-reconsidered-george-mccully-9781438905617","title":"Philanthropy Reconsidered: Private Initiatives - Public Good - Quality of Life","description":"A re-interpretation and strategic overview of philanthropy-its meaning and values, greatest accomplishments, current transformations, and future directions-based on close analysis of historical sources, and 25 years' practical experience in all aspects of philanthropy. Chapter I: \" Promethean Fire: the Archetype\" - from its first coinage in ancient Greece, in Prometheus Bound, philanthropia meant \"the love of humanity\", or of what it is to be human, an educational and cultural ideal; Chapter II: \" Philanthropy's Finest Hour: the American Revolution\" - the Revolution as philanthropy in action-how Classical philanthropy through voluntary associations produced a \"purportedly philanthropic nation\", created by and for philanthropy; Chapter III: \" Philanthropy Yesterday and Today\" - how 20th-century growth and professionalization made philanthropy paradigmatic, but neglected Classical values, and how we are now in a paradigm-shift, in which philanthropy is being thoroughly transformed; Chapter IV: \" The Future of Philanthropy\" - how the paradigm-shift analysis illuminates issues facing Old Paradigm institutions, and current trends suggesting a probable future; Chapter V: \" Philanthropy Reborn\"- how a possible New Paradigm, uniting Classical ideals with Internet-based operations, might benefit donors, grantmakers, philanthropic advisors, trustees, executive directors, scholars, media journalists, teachers and students, as well as civic, religious and political leaders. Appendix I: \"Case Study: the Catalogue for Philanthropy in Massachusetts.\" Exemplifies the current paradigm-shift. Appendix II: \"A Taxonomic Tree of Philanthropy\" A donor-friendly presentation of how the fields of philanthropy constitute a coherent whole. Appendix III: \"Bibliographical Notes\" Suggested further readings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George McCully\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438905610\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438905617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/26\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.34d","brand":"George McCully","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986179424511,"sku":"9781438905617","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33c08862-3aa3-45f3-a2ce-9e2358b41902.jpg?v=1683281832","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/philanthropy-reconsidered-george-mccully-9781438905617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
