I write to strongly recommend this book to researchers, scholars, university professors, mid-management development personnel, governmental and non-governmental officials concerned with matters of sustainable development and communities. ... The book provides compelling and powerful arguments for the sustainability of communities. It is with the highest level of enthusiasm that I recommend this book. - Valentine Udoh James, Ph.D.; CES; CAQS, Professor & Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Clarion University of Pennsylvania ...Professor Awotona has put together an excellent collection of essays from people who have been at the forefront of responding to the needs of the most vulnerable groups after such disasters. ...This book is a must have for everyone, for we are all potential victims of disasters, and knowing how to protect and heal ourselves and our families is the starting point to disaster recovery. - Michael A. Burayidi, Ph.D., Irving Distinguished Professor and Chair, Department of Urban Planning, Ball State University, USA Everybody working with advocacy for young children should read this book. When you then have read it and just feel overwhelmed by the situation for many children in the world, read A WORLD FIT FOR CHILDREN published by UNICEF, and you will realize that children themselves have the answers to many of the questions dealt with here. - Ingrid Pramling Samuelsson, Professor & UNESCO Chair in Early Childhood Education and Sustainable Development
