The Hewlett Foundation's HalHarvey and the Pew Center on Global Climate Change's Eileen Claussen are key figures in commissioning research and working on politicians.
Written by Paul Brest, of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and his former colleague, HalHarvey, now of the ClimateWorks Foundation, the book dispenses practical advice to aspiring philanthropists and provides examples of the ways they can influence the world from education to climate change to the arts.
