Summary: A Smooth View of a Hard Reality
Comment: "The battered Moroccan bus heaved its bulk up the Atlas mountains, eroded by the tracks of a hundred absent streams." Nothing says it better than Paul does with his own words. This work is insightful, bringing the reader almost physically to dozens of different poverty-stricken locations, and well-written. Moreover, despite the harsh realities he presents, Paul's detailed description makes the experience fluid and enjoyable. "As dawn rises over the mud-walled royal palace at Ouagadougou, the emperor's horse, impatient in its heavy trappings of emerald, scarlet and gold, snorts and paws the ground." Yes, this book is definitely about global poverty, but it's written from a view you've never seen before. Embedded in the enchanting description is an awakening for the reader -- a new awareness of people and their struggles all over the planet.

Summary: Life changing...
Comment: If you've ever blamed poverty and underdevelopment on cultural or racial inferiority, or wondered why Europe and the West industrialized while other regions didn't, read this book. A friend just lent it to me, and I found it incredibly convicting. Learn how most of the world lives, and most importantly, why it does.
