      abstract = {In their earlier book, Half the Sky, husband-and-wife team  Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn brought to light  struggles faced by women and girls around the globe, and  showcased individuals and institutions working to address  oppression and expand opportunity. A Path Appears is even  more ambitious in scale: a sweeping tapestry of people who  are making the world a better place and a guide to the ways  that we can do the same -- whether with a donation of $5 or  $5 million, with our time, by capitalizing on our skills as  individuals, or by using the resources of our businesses.   With both research and on-the-ground reporting, the authors  assay the art and science of giving, identify successful  local and global initiatives, and share examples from the  front lines of social progress. We meet people like Dr.  Gary Slutkin, who developed his landmark Cure Violence  program to combat inner-city conflicts in the United States  by applying principles of epidemiology; Lester Strong, who  left a career as a high-powered television anchor to run an  organization bringing in older Americans to tutor students  in public schools across the country; MIT development  economist Esther Duflo, whose pioneering studies of aid  effectiveness have revealed new truths about, among other  things, the power of hope; and Jessica Posner and Kennedy  Odede, who are transforming Kenya's most notorious slum by  expanding educational opportunities for girls. A Path  Appears offers practical, results-driven advice on how best  each of us can give and reveals the lasting benefits we  gain in return.},
