“Nonprofit Management by Mike Worth is the right book for a group of students who are eager to learn about how to manage nonprofits but may be new to the sector. It gives ample coverage of all the key topics nonprofit leaders interact with every day. Students will leave the course with a clear understanding of what a nonprofit is, how they work, the diversity of the sector and how to manage key areas of a company.”

I'm really looking for a book that focuses more how public policies have affected and continue to affect the behavior of nonprofit organizations. I'd like more discussion on how nonprofits seek to influence the public policy process and discussion on the roll of civic leadership and advocacy and its impact on public policy decisions
