The fourth edition of the Geographies of Development is an invaluable text for students in development studies and geography. I especially appreciate the mix of theory and practice, as well as illustrative case studies, prompts that promote critical reflection, and great maps and conceptual diagrams. This extensively revised and up-to-date book is essential for those exploring the ever-evolving realm of development studies. - William G. Moseley, Professor of Geography, Macalester College, Saint Paul, USA. This fourth edition updates the coverage and takes account of shifts in thinking to ensure that Geographies of Development remains a leading textbook in what remains a dynamic and popular field of study across Geography and cognate disciplines around the world. The late David Smith and Rob Potter would be very proud of how their colleagues have ensured the continued relevance and topicality of this best-selling title. - Professor David Simon, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK and Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden
