Anyone working in the Developing World sometimes needs some advice. The solutions offered in this book cover a wide range of subjects and they are practical and very well illustrated. Do not be intimidated by the "engineering" in this book, it's mostly common sense and useful tables. I would strongly recommend this book as a reference for aid and develpment workers everywhere for low tech solutions to problems they will encounter.
