Praise for Building Nonprofit Capacity

"A central question for leadership is to identify where, and when, to focus organizational energy, and that is where Brothers and Sherman's book comes in. Changing organizations is never easy, which is why managers need the right set of maps and tools--like this one." Jon Pratt, executive director, Minnesota Council of Nonprofits

"Anyone running a nonprofit organization, no matter how large or small, would benefit from reading this book. It's chock-full of useful information about managing change."Eric Nee, managing editor, Stanford Social Innovation Review

"Nonprofit leaders need tools to help them manage better, engage communities, collaborate, and have greater impact. Building Nonprofit Capacity is a great tool and a useful reference for organizations that are seeking to make a greater and more sustainable difference." Paul Schmitz, CEO, Public Allies

"Brothers and Sherman expertly braid together complementary organizational lifecycle frameworks--and add their own wide-ranging expertise and experience--to bring practitioners and executives this comprehensive, relevant, and honest book about the organizational quest to become ever better."Jeanne Bell, CEO, CompassPoint Nonprofit Services

"Whether you are building a start-up, bringing an organization to scale, managing an established group toward excellence, or shepherding a nonprofit at risk of decline, this book should be required reading for every nonprofit executive director." Richard R. Buery, Jr., president and CEO, The Children's Aid Society

"There are a lot of nonprofit management books out there. What makes Brothers and Sherman's book different and so important and worthwhile is that they have combined a number of models, theories, and practices and shaped them into a few essential processes that can be used by organizations both large and small."Doug Bauer, executive director, The Clark Foundation

"In America, too few nonprofit founders or leaders can afford to step aside, nor have they been taught how to share power in the decision-making process. This critical juncture in the evolution of so many groups is but one reason to buy Building Nonprofit Capacity--a book that will help any forward thinking leader to see the future ? and act, today." Robert Egger, president, DC Central Kitchen

"This should be required reading for nonprofit executives and board members " --Sean Stannard-Stockton, CEO, Tactical Philanthropy Advisors

The Self-Tormentor is the most neglected of Terence's six comedies, no full scale edition having appeared in England since the end of the last century; yet it is in many ways the author's most exciting play. The plot, of the 'double' type favoured by Terence, is fast-moving, complicated and full of intrigues masterminded by the ever-optimistic Syrus, who provides one of the best examples of the 'cunning slave' of Roman comedy. The presence of the two old men, one the self-tormentor of the title, the two sons and the sons' romantic attachments provides a contrast and variety in characterisation which show Terence's perceptive treatment at its best.

This is a reprint three volume set with a thematic organization of the articles of the four Women in Porphyrin Science special issues published in the Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines in 2019. All the articles were carefully arranged by the volume editors and Karl Kadish, the Journal of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines Editor-in-Chief, in order to provide a comprehensive coverage of each topic. Volume 1 covers the biomedical aspects, applications and uses of BODIPY's, porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related derivatives, mainly for photodynamic therapy. Volume 2 covers the synthesis, characteristics and properties of these compounds, while Volume 3 is on topics related to materials, sensors, energy and catalysis. These state-of-the-art articles are contributed by women. This book will strongly contribute to the visibility of women in the field of porphyrin science.
