520    "Arthur and Susan Holcombe trace the evolution of their 
       thinking about Third World poverty reduction strategies 
       from their graduate study of economic and social 
       development at the University of Pittsburgh through 
       careers with the UN and with nongovernmental organizations
       (TPAF and Oxfam America). They worked and lived in East 
       Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, South Pacific, Sudan and 
       China. Their work took them to Tibet, Gaza, the Andes, 
       Cambodia and elsewhere.Their college years at Harvard and 
       Mount Holyoke gave them a global perspective. Here they 
       describe the political, economic, social, demographic and 
       environmental factors influencing poverty. They identify 
       key development programs focused on human development. The
       memoir concludes with a retrospect of conditions 
       prevailing in countries where they earlier worked"--Back
