Perhaps I have not looked hard enough but there is a real shortage of good A
level resources.
Standard student booklets are
Development Economics F Nixson ISNBN 0435330489 £7.50 Heinemann
Economic Development P Cramp from Anform. 3rd Edition just out ISBN
0907529739 £6.95
Teachers can try
For heavy weight analysis Economic Development Todaro, Michael P.
Addison-Wesley ISBN 0582382521
Economic Development, Growth and Welfare Macmillan 0333722280
Both expensive
FREE resources online include
Beyond Economic Growth
http://www.worldbank.org/depweb/beyond/beyond.htm#english
Major new resource: Biz/ed's Virtual Development
http://www.bized.ac.uk/virtual/dc/
PLUS And can anyone remember that free online pdf book on development form
America. Lost the url :-(
And finally there is the indispensable
Development Economics Q&A by yours truly written for OCR but relevant to
other boards I hope
http://www.tutor2u.net/shop/econ_development_qa.asp very cheap very good :-)
And for the future, I start on a course companion for Development Economics
in June which should be available for September, again from Tutor2U

Dear friends
I have a colleague who is just about to start teaching development
economics, on Edexcel, and has asked me to recommend any good texts. Can
anyone teaching this unit update me on what is available (and any good).
thanks
