Summary: A Work of Art in Development Graphics
Review: I publish a bi-monthly newsletter on Africa and this book has been an enormous source of help. The graphics are wonderful and very true to life. This is no slick clip art but original works of art that capture the essence of the rural/urban life. I recommend this book wholeheartedly and it has now become the most important book in our office.

Summary: The best source of development-related clip art around
Review: There's an awful lot of clip art around these days, mostly on CD-ROM. But it's nearly all Western-oriented: blue-eyed blondes answering telephones, and that sort of thing. There's very little that can be used in developing countries, suited to the needs of development professionals, extension workers or health educators.

The author (a professional illustrator) has put together an excellent collection of her own black-and-white line drawings. It concentrates on health, but also has illustrations of many other aspects of rural development in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

I use it all the time. Highly recommended.
