Review
"Tools for Change is an extraordinary achievement: there is simply nothing like it on the market, in terms of the scope, depth, and the quality and consistency of the contributions included in this book. This is as close to a critical or heterodox textbook in development studies as we are ever likely to get." -- Professor Alfredo Saad Filho, Department of Development Studies, SOAS, University of London
