Pitched the undergraduate market, the book is divided into three distinct sections; Theory, Practice and Space. Each section is then supplicated with detailed and logical analysis with clear progression and superb referencing.

Many texts on the shelves currently, adopt more traditional approach of "define and explain", often without placing issues in a wider context. Here we are introduced to the subject logically, giving latitude for the student to find his feet and place the issues into a broader context.

Explanations throughout are given clearly and with copious and clear quotations with good reference to other texts. Superb as a basis for wider reading.

"Geographies of Development" is a readable, and an essential, base text for the undergraduate and is thoroughly recommended.
