"Adventures in the Aid Trade stands alone for the extraordinary range of experience and insight it presents. I know of no other book quite like itFor all who work in development or aspire to do so, it is a grounded and invaluable source of learning and inspiration...[ and] a rich source of ideas for how we can do better. I commend it to all development professionals, whatever their roles, as an engaging read and a fertile source of learning." -- Robert Chambers, OBE
"Adventures in the Aid Trade is at once memoir, "how-to"manual, reflexive critique, and globe trotting picaresque narrative. Full of insight, humour, and heart, Richard Holloway has produced an essential text for students, scholars, and practitioners of development alike. It is also a great read." -- Larry Swatuk, Professor at the School of Environment, Enterprise and Development, University of Waterloo, Canada "Adventures in the Aid Trade stands alone for the extraordinary range of experience and insight it presents.
