Content: Nonprofit organizations are arguably the fastest growing and most dynamic part of modern market economies in democratic countries. This Handbook explores the frontiers of knowledge at the intersection of economics and the management of these entities. The authors review the role, structure and behavior of private, nonprofit organizations as economic units and their participation in markets and systems of public service delivery, assess the implications of this knowledge for the efficient management of nonprofit organizations and the formulation of effective public policy, and identify cutting edge questions for future research

Content: Bruce Kirkby und seine Frau, früher leidenschaftliche Abenteuerreisende, finden sich einige Jahre nach der Geburt ihrer beiden Söhne in einem Alltag wieder, der von Terminen, Arbeit und dem Smartphone diktiert wird. Sie sehnen sich nach mehr Zeit und Aufmerksamkeit füreinander, besonders für ihren autistischen Sohn Bodi. Für die Suche nach einem anderen Leben sind sie bereit, alles hinter sich zu lassen: Zu viert brechen sie zu einer abenteuerlichen Reise in den Himalaya auf, wo sie drei Monate lang in einem abgeschiedenen buddhistischen Kloster leben. Bei den Mönchen in Zanskar finden sie, was ihnen fehlte: ein einfaches, achtsames Leben, unerwarteten Zugang zu Spiritualität und Meditation sowie ein tieferes Verständnis für Bodi.
