| Summary |
"Volunteering: A current perspective examines many aspects of volunteering. The book tells us who volunteers and why, what volunteers do, the political, economic and social implications of volunteering, and how volunteer contribution might be more effectively utilised. The book identifies potential sources of support for volunteering and looks to a future in which both voluntary and paid workers help us move towards a more democratic, caring and informed society."--Back cover |
