Earning money is one thing but giving it away with intelligence and consideration is the hardest thing in the world. That's where philanthropy advice fills a real and increasing need.

As well as explaining the key concepts, this accessible guide considers the challenges that can be encountered and ethical dilemmas that must be considered; it is supplemented by the inclusion of previously unpublished interviews with 40 philanthropy advisors from around the globe providing illuminating case studies and insights. Focused on UK-practice, but also rich with examples and material from across the world, this book is a unique and timely addition to the developing body of literature on philanthropy. Advising Philanthropists covers: How the role of advisor has emerged; What key concepts you need to know;The role and practical skills of an advisor; Understanding and working with donors; The challenges and broader context in giving philanthropy advice The key audience for this book is those new to or considering a career in philanthropy advising, including students, as well as established philanthropy advice professionals seeking to deepen their knowledge and improve their practice

Trafalgar Square The Kid's Guide to Horsemanship and Grooming: Everything You Need to Know to Care for Horses While Staying Safe and Having Fun
Whether taking their first lessons, handling horses when visiting friends, or enjoying the glorious challenges of first-pony ownership, children need to learn more than just “how to ride.” When it comes to horses, the most important lessons begin on the ground, not only to ensure a young person's safety, but also to promote the fair and informed care of an animal so that he remains healthy and happy in their interactions, too. This highly illustrated, easy-to-use book is the most complete and correct guide available for horse-crazy kids and their families to learn basic horsemanship standards and responsibly apply them in the barn, in the arena, at home, and at competitions. Professional grooms and authors of the bestsellers World-Class Grooming for Horses and World-Class Braiding–Manes & Tails Cat Hill and Emma Ford are both lifelong horsewomen who have managed barns and strings of horses for top riders in all disciplines, including Olympians and World Champions. Since publishing their first book, they have traveled the country teaching clinics in proper horsemanship and grooming to aspiring young riders. Now they have put their wealth of experience to the page with over 400 professional color photos and clear, numbered steps that teach readers the following: - Catching, leading, and handling - Daily grooming - Tacking up - Post-riding or lesson care - Tack cleaning - Barn chores - Packing for shows and competitions - Bathing, clipping, and braiding - Bonding and playing - Games and goals for those who don't want to show - And more! With cool tips and tricks they've learned over the years, and an emphasis on safety and detail without detracting from the fun of being around horses, Hill and Ford have created an instant classic—a much-needed resource that will not only encourage young readers to become complete “horse people” as well as “riders,” it will preserve and pass along the management skills honed over a lifetime in barns held to the highest standards. Hands down, this book is the must-have starter-kit for every young rider.

The Emma Press Homesickness and Exile: Poems about Longing and Belonging
How does it feel to be a foreigner? Can you choose where you call home? What if you reject your home or your home rejects you? Homesickness and Exile is a fascinating collection of poems about the fundamental human need to belong to a place, as poets from across the world provide profound and moving insights into the emotional pull of countries and cities. Poems about homecoming, departure and both voluntary and involuntary exile provoke reflections on alienation and identity, and a recurring theme is the yearning for a sense of belonging and acceptance by a place. This anthology is inspired by the Tristia, a collection of poems written by the Roman poet Ovid after he was banished from Rome by the Emperor for an unknown misdemeanour. Homesickness and Exile expands on Ovid's themes and considers spiritual as well as physical exile in the modern world, with poets writing about rootlessness and geographical ennui.
