Social Impact Analysis: An Applied Anthropology Manual by Laurence R. Goldman, ISBN 1859733921
Because resource development projects occur in human as well as ecological environments, stakeholders -- landowners, companies and governments -- are compelled to insure that the benefits of any project are maximized while the negative risks are minimized. Achieving such objectives means implementing programs that monitor and evaluate the ongoing effects of a project on the social and cultural lives of the impacted populace.
Social Impact Analysis provides a teaching and training resource for students, social scientists (anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, environmentalists, engineers, etc.) and indigenous personnel and operators who are tasked with community affairs programs in those countries where resource development projects are implemented.

In addition, the book does a good job of presenting both sides of controversial topics, such as the fees fund charge investors; disclosure requirements; and responsibilities of fund directors. The book is an ideal learning tool and reference to the mutual fund industry.
