Want to help? First you must be willing to learn. This year, over ten million people will go abroad, eager to find the perfect blend of adventure and altruism. Volunteer travel can help you find your place in the world--and find out what you're made of. So why do so many international volunteer programs fail to make an impact? Why do some do more harm than good? Learning Service offers a powerful new approach that invites volunteers to learn from host communities before trying to 'help' them. It's also a thoughtful critique of the sinister side of volunteer travel; a guide for turning good intentions into effective results; and essential advice on how to make the most of your experience. This book is for volunteers and educators alike. If you're wondering if volunteer travel is right for you; if you're getting on the plane tomorrow; or if you're trying to adjust to life as a returned volunteer--this is the book you need in your bag.

1929. From the dust jacket. Andre Maurois who wrote so sympathetically of the lives of Disraeli and Shelley (Ariel) has created here a novel of incomparable charm and originality. Atmosphere of Love is a study of a man and the two women he loved. In the opening chapters, Philippe Marcenat narrates his version of his affair with the woman he loved, madly, jealously; in the latter part of the novel the mirror is held up at a different angle and Marcenat's second wife presents her estimate of her husband. By this original device, we have a subtle and a living portrait of the hero. At the same time, it is an analysis, profound and clarifying, of the nature and the course of love and the devastating effect of human jealousy. Virginia Woolf, the author of Orlando says of this novel: It would be difficult to find a fellow to it in English. One cannot bring to mind at the moment any living English writer so intelligent, so dextrous, so accomplished as M. Maurois. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
