520    The inspirational story of a former Microsoft executive's 
       quest to build libraries around the world and share the 
       love of books. What's happened since John Wood left 
       Microsoft to change the world? Just ask six million kids 
       in the poorest regions of Asia and Africa. In 1999, at the
       age of thirty-five, Wood quit a lucrative career to found 
       the nonprofit Room to Read. Described by the San Francisco
       Chronicle as "the Andrew Carnegie of the developing world,
       " he strived to bring the lessons of the corporate world 
       to the nonprofit sector-and succeeded spectacularly. In 
       his acclaimed first book, Leaving Microsoft to Change the 
       World, Wood explained his vision and the story of his 
       start-up. Now, he tackles the organization's next steps 
       and its latest challenges-from managing expansion to 
       raising money in a collapsing economy to publishing books 
       for children who literally have no books in their native 
       language. At its heart, Creating Room to Read shares 
       moving stories of the people Room to Read works to help: 
       impoverished children whose schools and villages have been
       swept away by war or natural disaster and girls whose 
       educations would otherwise be ignored. People at the 
       highest levels of finance, government, and philanthropy 
       will embrace the opportunity to learn Wood's inspiring 
       business model and blueprint for doing good. And general 
       readers will love Creating Room to Read for its 
       spellbinding story of one man's mission to put books 
       within every child's reach.
