What
                      is development? 
                      How can we
                      compare levels of development? 
                      What does it
                      take to make development sustainable?
                      This book, which draws on data published by the World
                      Bank, is addressed to students, teachers, and all those
                      interested in exploring issues of global development. It
                      encourages learners to seek their own solutions to
                      development challenges by exploring and discussing a broad
                      range of critical development issues.
