From the hair-raising to the hilarious, Whatever You Do, Don’t Run reveals the reality of game ranging as experienced by four very human rangers. Crammed with facts on the African bush and its wildlife, the book also gives the wannabe ranger answers to guiding conundrums such as: - What to say when the crocodile-infested river you’re driving through turns out to be just a little deeper than you had thought – and the engine stalls? - How to hide from ten curious guests the fact that you have just been bitten by a puff adder? - And, perhaps most importantly, how to save the life of the camp’s barman using only Milton’s drain cleaner. Exquisite black and white drawings and photographs add to the charm of this easy and entertaining read, which will have you longing for the bush.

[From jacket flaps] This book is about the unbelievable life of Pittsburgh-native Tom J. "Toody' Cirincione. At only 5'5" and bearing a strong resemblance to Woody Allen, Toody hardly appears to be a likely candidate to be one of the best known men in the world of college basketball. But he is! Says Arizona coach Lute Olson, "I'm not sure if there's anyone in the game today, who's not maybe a big-time coach, who's better known than Toody." Toody has become the biggest of college basketball's many interesting subculture figures by relentlessly chasing for more than 25 years a dream of becoming a college basketball coach. During that quarter-century span, he did virtually everything imaginable to become a coach...A Boy, A Ball, A Dream captures the eccentricity of Toody. The book relates the comedy in his life: from his legendary date with the farmer's wife in Buie's Creek,

This book considers the process of impact assessment and shows how and why it needs to be integrated into all stages of development programs - from planning to evaluation. Its basic premise is that impact assessment should not refer to the immediate outputs of a project or program, but to any lasting or significant changes that it brought about. From a theoretical overview, the book moves on to discuss the design of impact-assessment processes and a range of tools and methods, before illustrating its use in development, in emergencies, and in advocacy work. It ends by exploring ways in which different organizations have attempted to instititutionalize impact-assessment processes and the challenges they have faced in doing so. In-depth case studies by partner organizations of Oxfam and Novib as well as by some Oxfam staff show how a variety of approaches to impact assessment - qualitative, quantitative, and participatory - in a range of situations from large-scale integrated development programs to projects involving only one community. These include impact studies undertaken by BRAC and PROSHIKA in Bangladesh, the evaluation of a post-conflict rehabilitation program in El Salvador, a long-term study of the effectiveness of environmental projects in Zimbabwe, and a retrospective review of a neighborhood project in the UK.

Through personal testimony, Debacle to Delight encourages those going through times of trial and adversity. Not only can people make it through difficult times, but they can become better people in the process. The process includes the healing power of God for those willing to submit to His Grace. When there seems to be no hope, and discouragement brings one to despair, real change can happen. While very difficult to accept the beginning stages of healing, the outcome can be good for those who endure. In this soul-bearing account, the author shows how facing our realities and being transparent about our issues are key to the healing process.
