Through five years' worth of interviews and data-gathering at Riverview, John Diamond and Amanda Lewis have created a rich and...

Focusing on the themes of partnership, sustainability, capacity building and community engagement and participation, the text also provides a clear framework within which new models of strategy and implementation can be found. With...

The 9/11 attacks and the war in Iraq sprang in no small part from massive intelligence failures, that much is well understood. How the CIA got to a point where it could fail so catastrophically is not. According to John Diamond, this slippage results from the tendency to overlook the links between seemingly unrelated intelligence failures and to underestimate the impact of political pressure on the CIA: factors we need to examine to understand both the origin and magnitude of the 9/11 and Iraq intelligence failures. To bring these links to light, Diamond analyzes the CIAs role in key events...

So confessed Joy Sharp, a longtime budget director for the University of Arkansas. Trembling and unsteady, she informed her boss that she had lost control of their division's finances.

It was an understatement. University leaders would soon discover that Sharp had routinely spent millions of dollars beyond what was available, shifting money from one account to another in what the university's treasurer described as -deliberate efforts to disguise- her division's true financial condition.
