Really!
As one who works in the field of higher education fundraising, I'd say that one theme runs through this book--"the times are changing, and we're damned ticked off about." While there is some good advice for donors in this book, the premise that seems to underlie this is that neither fundraisers, nor university administrators can be trusted to carry out the wishes of donors. I strongly disagree. The vast majority of gifts to higher education are restricted in nature.By that I mean the donor has designated some purpose which he/she wishes fulfilled. In all but the rare case do institutions violate either the purpose or intent of the donor and consider stewardship to be a solemn pledge to carry out that intent. I don't think this book is particularly helpful in tone or content.

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Najee Mondalek is an Arab-American actor who "has been called the Jerry Seinfeld of Arab-American culture." Born in Lebanon, Najee Mondalek grew up in a dreadful and unsecured environment where he spent much of his early childhood witnessing Lebanon's civil war. In Jdeidet Marjeyoun, he was the villagers' imitator who provided an opportunity to appreciate laughter in the midst of terror. It was not until 1985, as a teenager of 19 years old, that he immigrated to the United States where he attended Macomb Community College and swapped humorous stories about Arab culture with other Lebanese Students at the school's student center. He received an Associate Degree from Macomb Community College in 1988 and later that year enrolled in Wayne State University, where he received his Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications in 1992. In 1997 he earned his Master's degree in Virtual Reality, 3D Animation and Visualization from the Academy of Art College in San Francisco and he returned to Michigan to work for GM (General Motors) as a virtual-reality engineer. Throughout hardship and hard work, Najee has remained true to his dream of becoming a successful writer, producer, actor and director. The "roar of the crowd" keeps him going. In 1988 he founded the AJYAL Theatrical Group the first Arab-American theatrical group to "take the show on the road" and perform for Arab-American audiences in The United States, Canada, Australia and the Middle East. The group's work is very popular in Arab-American communities because its plays focus on the struggles and everyday problems that Arab-Americans face in the US.
