Social issues & processes
Paperback. Volunteering and voluntary organizations have become increasingly important in British social and political life but at a cost. Greater prominence has led to a narrow and distorted view of what voluntary action involves and how it is undertaken. This book reasserts the case for a broader view of voluntarism as a unique set of autonomous activities. Num Pages: 296 pages, 3 figures, 2 black & white tables. BIC Classification: JFF; JFSV; JHBL. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 17. Weight in Grams: 380.
