This is not a book that will tell the reader how to treat
tuberculosis or diarrhea in the Third World. It is not a book the
nurse will use to assign nursing diagnosis to her client's
problems. It is a book for those who hunger for new ways of
thinking about children and health care systems. It is a book for
those who see or need to see the people of the world as
interconnected. It is a book for people who want fuel for their own
ideas about promoting psychological and physical health of
children. --Journal of Pediatric Nursing "The contributors in the
volume are distinguished, often leaders in their fields. They come
from many countries, including the former Soviet Union, western and
eastern Europe, Egypt, India, Ghana, Mexico, and from international
organizations such as UNICEF and Worldwatch. They represent
different disciplines, including education, the social sciences,
public health, and the humanities. . . . The reader who is
interested in certain places, as I was, will be rewarded." --Lewis
