Series Statement: What everyone needs to know

Note: Includes bibliographical references and index , Defining social entrepreneurship -- What is social entrepreneurship? -- When did it emerge as a global movement? -- Who are the pioneers? -- What does a social entrepreneur do? -- What are social entrepreneurs like? -- What is the difference between social and business entrepreneurship? -- What are the differences between social entrepreneurship and government? -- How is social entrepreneurship different from activism? -- What is the relationship between social entrepreneurship and democracy? -- Challenges of causing change -- What are the main financial constraints? -- How do social entrepreneurs build organizations and enterprises? -- Can the field attract and cultivate talented workers? -- How do social entrepreneurs evaluate their impact? -- What is the difference between scale and impact? -- What's stopping social change? -- Envisioning an innovating society -- How is social entrepreneurship changing minds? -- How could schools nurture social innovators? -- What is being done at the university level? -- What can governments do to engage more successfully with social entrepreneurs? -- How is social entrepreneurship influencing business? -- Can philanthropy be more effective? -- How will the field of social entrepreneurship influence journalism? -- How can individuals prepare themselves to participate in the field of social entrepreneurship? , "In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before, a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world. The author's book on social entrepreneurship, How to Change the World, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times as 'a bible in the field' and published in more than twenty countries. Now, he shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that book, and teams with Susan Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation, to offer the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q & A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as well as in its particulars. They explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant based non-profit work. Unlike the typical top down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning, learning by doing, working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, local problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. It is for anyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of this new method of social change"--Provided by publisher

Series Statement: Culture, politics, and the built environment

Content: Although race--a concept of human difference that establishes hierarchies of power and domination--has played a critical role in the development of modern architectural discourse and practice since the Enlightenment, its influence on the discipline remains largely underexplored. This volume offers a welcome and long-awaited intervention for the field by shining a spotlight on constructions of race and their impact on architecture and theory in Europe and North America and across various global contexts since the eighteenth century. Challenging us to write race back into architectural history, contributors confront how racial thinking has intimately shaped some of the key concepts of modern architecture and culture over time, including freedom, revolution, character, national and indigenous style, progress, hybridity, climate, representation, and radicalism. By analyzing how architecture has intersected with histories of slavery, colonialism, and inequality--from eighteenth-century neoclassical governmental buildings to present-day housing projects for immigrants--Race and Modern Architecture challenges, complicates, and revises the standard association of modern architecture with a universal project of emancipation and progress
