Sommario/riassunto

With more and more nonprofit employees responsible for the creation and management of the annual budget, it's clear that budgets must be well designed and easy to implement in order to accommodate the trend toward decentralizing decision-making powers in nonprofit organizations. Continuous budgeting, as explained in Not-for-Profit Budgeting and Financial Management, Fourth Edition offers a system that is not only easy to use and monitor, but also ensures true fiscal accountability in the complex nonprofit arena.--Provided by publisher.

Sommario/riassunto

The structural morphology working group of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, founded in 1991, has helped to launch several international seminars, newsletters and specific sessions of international conferences devoted to structural morphology. This book contains papers that have been selected either for their fundamental contribution to structural morphology or for their actual pertinence in the field. Polyhedral geometry, double-curved surfaces, biological structures, foldable systems, form-finding techniques, and free form design are some of the topics included
