Must-read for anyone interested in Third World Development
|
|
I am doing a course on HIV/AIDS and Development as part of my University Degree, and this was one of the core texts given on our reading list. It's easy to see why- It offers you a new more sociological dimension from which to look at the issue of AIDS. It also links AIDS to the core development debate- and communicates more then effectively, the implications and consequences that AIDS carries for "Third World" Development. It has now become impossible to discuss the issue of Development in the Third World, without discussing AIDS. And so, this book becomes doubly important.

aids in the twenty-first century: disease and globilization
|
|
a very powerfull book, it makes you think beyond the disease and look at the causes and effects. well rounded and easy to read this book is full of facts that are well presented in a format that the "layman" can enjoy. it makes a subject that is far removed from our life and often depressing hard to put down.

Essential reading
|
|
The best book I've read on the subject of AIDS. The authors approach the subject from a pragmatic and proactive perspective, showing how the epidemic has highlighted social, economic and political challenges in the developing world, and providing input on possible solutions. The search for a cure for AIDS is only part of the challenge. This book is extremely well researched and referenced, unbiased and not afraid to state facts as they are. AIDS is much more than a set of diseases, it is a wake up call to the world.
