Riassunto

A text for development courses, this book takes a geographic approach to understanding development in the global context. Along with the standard overview of development theory, this work introduces students to the differences between North and South: from the physical distribution of rain water and soil type, to the workings of trade in everything from raw materials to the products of financial services.
