Reviews

This is one of the few books that address all major issues in the area of undernutrition with an admirable comprehensiveness, clarity and competence ... this is a rich and definitive study of the links between undernutrition and poverty ... this is a book of considerable originality and scholarship, and sets standards of analytical rigour that will be hard to surpass in further work on the links between undernutrition and poverty. Development and Change Svedberg's case is well argued ... This is an impressive book, fully justifying the ringing endorsement it receives in Professor Amartya Sen's Foreword. Apart from providing the most comprehensive exposition to date on the 'FAO-WHO debate', it presents complex technical material on the economics of nutrition accessibly for the non-specialist, and addresses other topical policy debates in this area, notably the relationship between poverty and nutrition status.
