Sommario/riassunto

In this volume, Christian Smith and Hilary Davidson offer vital insight into how American adults conceive of and demonstrate generosity. Focusing not only on financial giving but on the many diverse forms philanthropy can take, they show the impact - both positive and negative - that giving has on individuals.
