Product Description
There have been very few studies on NGO fieldworkers. This book, looking at fieldworkers in Bangladesh, provides insights into this neglected field. The book examines four types of NGOs - international, national, regional and small/local - in a number of sample locations. It proposes that NGO fieldworkers should be "movers and shakers", with a more active role in policy-making and puts forward several recommendations for changes in the management and structure of NGOs in future. ...

Mediocre and misleading
This 45-page volume is meant as a school text, and includes a one page index, and one page glossary.

But the book, although it includes a large collection of photographs and data on the nation of Bangladesh, leaves a misleading impression that all is well in that land. Which it is not.

The book does briefly note the conflict surrounding the country's 1971 birth, but says nothing about the blood baths that followed in the 1970s and 1980s, nor about the radical Islamic leadership that today holds it a capital crime for any citizen to want the nation to establish peaceful relations with Israel.

There are some good points about the Hindu culture that dominates the Indian subcontinent, including Bangladesh, but this book makes it sound as though Hindus are all wealthy and oppressive landlords, which is certainly not the case. In fact, there are considerable historical facts establishing intense Muslim animosity for Hindus, dating back earlier than the 12th century invasion of India by Afghan Muslims, and continuing through the 500 year occupation of India by Islamic Moguls, who murdered some 80 million Indians (mostly Hindus) during that time.

A very misleading school text, at best.

A Good Insight into the actual Bangladesh
The book puts forward some informative data about the small picturesque green Bangladesh, nestled between the vast India and Myanmar. It is informative in the sense that it provides the reader with an accumulationof various data accumulated over the years, but I would not recommend it toa tourist who would want to visit Bangladesh, using this book as a guide.Provides good insight, but could be improved much, much more by giving moreinteresting material to read about and a lot of pictures. Overall, amediocre book. ... Read more
