The editors (the director of the Department of Museum Advancement and Excellence and the former assistant director of professional education at the American Association of Museums) present ten pieces that give advice on best practices in institutional planning. In addition to presenting a window into institutional planning at their own institution, they present insider perspectives from the Shady Side Rural Heritage Society, the National Portrait Gallery, Longwood Gardens, and the New York Botanical Garden. They also present papers that discuss funding and finances. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
