** 'Disability and poverty' by Eide & Ingstad

This book explores the lived realities of people with disabilities from 
across the developing world and examines how the coping strategies of 
individuals and families emerge in different contexts.

"This is an important and timely book. All too often we are told that there 
is a relationship between disability and poverty, but this is the first 
text which systematically examines this relationship, from a range of 
perspectives. The book will be required reading for everyone in the field." 
Leslie Swartz, Department of Psychology, Stellenbosch University

** 'Down and out' by Peter Saunders

Drawing on the author's extensive research expertise and his links with 
welfare practitioners , this landmark study provides the first 
comprehensive assessment of the nature and associations between the three 
main forms of social disadvantage in Australia: poverty, deprivation and 
social exclusion.
"This book represents a significant advance to poverty and exclusion 
research in Australia and internationally. It is essential reading for 
anyone interested in this rapidly changing field." David Gordon, University 
of Bristol

** 'Injustice' by Danny Dorling NEW IN PAPERBACK!

Danny Dorling claims in this timely book that in rich countries inequality 
is now caused by unacknowledged beliefs which propagate it. Hard-hitting 
and uncompromising in its call to action, this is essential reading for 
everyone concerned with social justice.
"For decades researchers have shown the damage inequality does to all 
society and Dorling's wonderful book extends this. With brilliance and 
passion Dorling analyses the mind-set of entitlement among those who hold 
ever tighter to money, power and life's best rewards, generation to 
generation." Polly Toynbee, The Guardian
