This book focuses positively on a particular kind of `politics of scarcity'': how human service groups can join forces and work together in coalitions in order to manoeuvre government resources more effectively, generate new non-governmental resources and find substitute funds. The book briefly reviews the experiences of thirteen coalitions and describes how to organize, develop and maintain a coalition. Exercises give readers the opportunity to apply the knowledge presented in each chapter.

Klima, a famous jazz trumpeter receives a phone call from a young nurse with whom he spent a brief night. She tells him she is pregnant and that he is the father of the unborn child.

"In one of these stories a young man and his girlfriend pretend that she is a stranger he picked up on the road - only to become strangers to each other in reality as their game proceeds. In another a teacher fakes piety in order to seduce a devout girl, then jilts her and yearns for God. In yet another girls wait in bars, on beaches, and on station platforms for the same lover, a middle-aged Don Juan who has gone home to his wife. Games, fantasies, and schemes abound in all the stories while different characters react in varying ways to the sudden release of erotic impulses."--Publisher description.
