Inhaltsangabe
This revised and updated second edition provides more than a collection of maps. It explores alternative ways of defining and mapping "Third World" and "development". It offers both historical and contemporary contexts discussing, for instance, Europe's colonization of Asia, Africa and Latin America and current issues such as environment degradation, famine, migration and gender.
The text examines three main questions: What is the Third World? How was it "made"? What changes are taking place in the Third World today? More generally, the atlas presents a variety of perspectives and explores how data can be presented and interpreted, and how much reliance we can place upon it. Students of geography, sociology, politics and international history, as well as development specialists, should find this guide useful.

Críticas
"...a substantial contribution to the demystification of theoretical and practical issues surrounding health and social welfare,a subject all too often perceived as being the sole domain of academics. This is a user-friendly publication. Its content is well-structured, making full use of case histories, diagrams, checklists and end-of-chapter summaries. At the same time, through appropriate use of published material, balanced arguments are constructed. This is a stimulating publication which should prove to be of great value to nurse practitioners, particularly those who are interested in furthering their practice through a sound understanding of the theory underpinning it." - Nursing Times "This book tackles effectively the relationship between theory and practice in the caring professions...It is a useful text to studentsof social work, nurses and others in the caring professions." - ASLIB "This book is well organised and written. With professional omnipotence rightly under challenge from consumerist and resource management pressures, thisbook provides a useful starting point for the pursuit of more knowledge-based and, thus, more defensible practice." - Community Care "At last, a book that not only attempts to clarify the theory-practice gap, but also offers a refreshing approach to solving it...I found this book both stimulating and enjoyable to read. It is dynamic, but also realistic, and should appeal to practitioners, managers and educationalists caught up in the web of theory and practice." - Health Visitor "This book provokes much thought for the reader in that it opens up many possibilities forfurther exploration. It encourages the critical questioning that is vitallynecessary for those practitioners, educators and trainers who struggle with the elusive and demanding topic of linking theory and practice as a significant part of their working lives." - British Journal of Social Work
