Reviews

"Whether the educator is experienced or just starting to teach development in an unequal world, 80-20 is likely to become a treasured and much used asset" -Gerry Jeffers, Education Department, Maynooth University, Ireland; "80-20 Development in an Unequal World is attractive, engaging, challenging and never simplistic or patronising and could allow schools to put global issues at the heart of the curriculum" - Professor Brian Boyd, University of Strathclyde, Scotland; "A highly respected essential text for those interested in or studying issues of international development" - Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland.; "80-20 Development in an Unequal World is a valuable resource aimed at the conscientization of scholars, global and development educators, and students of all ages and backgrounds in informal as well as formal education. Most importantly, it discusses the processes of change, indicating how we can organize to advance policies that favour the creation of an international peaceful, sustainable and just social order." - International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning; "An asset for every busy geography teacher because it is an informative, data-rich resource and provides critical analysis on human development and human rights worldwide. It takes on big issues: sustainable development, climate change, global inequality, womens rights, aid and trade and more. It is strong on critical thinking, is full of facts and information and the approach is varied and accessible. There are cartoons, photos, graphs and descriptive analysis and some small case studies." - Stephen Schwab, Co-Chair of the GAs Secondary Phase Committee
