"Mike Worth does a great job of explaining the concepts of nonprofit management and provides excellent case studies and exercises so students can see how these concepts work in the real world."

I like having the most recent materials out there and since the pandemic even recent materials has outdated information because SO MUCH changed. I really wish M. Worth would update his fundraising book. That one is so old I had to stop using it and I don't like the new one I chose.
