Media reviews

"The authors are highly respected and the series draws on an extraordinary data base and comparison between countries....This series forms the most definitive recent analysis of the problems of hunger and deprivation in the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The range of issues and countries covered is nothing short of extraordinary...Meticulously argued....Attention to detail sets these studies far above other contemporary writing on hunger and deprivation. Equally the series is welcome for its criticism of economic growth and food production to the exclusion of equity and distribution."--Dissent


"An uncommonly fine collection of papers by prominent authors."--Choice


"Obviously an important book with immediate implications for countless lives. Those who choose not to turn its pages will be deprived of an intellectual treat."--Journal of Economic Literature
