Review
... Reasons for Success defines sustainable development in terms of the people involved, making it quite clear that "development" has more to do with human variables than with purely economic ones. The organization of social and work groups, leadership and authority structures and protocol, responses to innovation and change, motivation, education and assessment feed-back are the elements to which programs must look. Reasons for Success is not a simple report of development ventures. It is a detailed analysis of the knowledge that can be gleaned from repeated experience and then used to guide and revise future efforts. Norman Uphoff, Milton Esman, and Anirudh Krishna are well-placed to produce this analysis, each having served may years in both academic and admisnistrative positions devoted to rural development... -- Counterpoise, January 1999
This readable book is a rich source of information that shows ways to improve people's livelihoods whilst sustaining the environment. -- LEISA Magazine, Fall 2001
