Small Guides to Big Issues
(published in partnership with Oxfam)

A new series of accessible introductions to the global challenges. The series de-bunks myths and raises questions about the global economic and political system and how it works. Each book provides an informative and thought-provoking guide to current trends and debates, and what needs to happen to end poverty and injustice.

Small Guides to Big Issues : Cities
Every year millions of people abandon rural areas of the South for life in the city. With education, health care and even safe water in short supply, cities risk becoming sites of violent conflict for future generations. Yet governments are doing little to address these issues. Jeremy Seabrook offers a vivid portrait of the lives of people who migrate from impoverished villages. Contrasting the attitudes of today's governments with that of Victorian Britain - where the government intervened to relieve some of the worst consequences of urban squalor - the book provides a sharp critique of global policies, and an ideal introduction to the impact of urbanisation. 206pp

'Jeremy Seabrook is one of England's most imaginative and creative writers' The Guardian

Small Guides to Big Issues : Climate Change
The story of climate change is the story of all life on Earth.

This book shows how people are already making adaptations and adjusting to cope with climate change. It suggests that, if we work together, we can still avert a climate crisis. This is a clear and simple account of action that needs to be taken in both rich and poor countries. Packed with information, it's an ideal resource for anyone who wants an introduction to climate change, and the choices we face to ensure the health of ourselves and of the planet. 194pp

Small Guides to Big Issues: Women's Rights
All over the world, women and girls are being denied their social, economic, political and civil rights. This book exposes discrimination across a range of areas: education, access to public services, trade, and elsewhere.

The book also explores violence against women and looks at how the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa is linked to the denial of rights to women. It looks at positive examples of women acting to overcome inequalities and oppression. Sponsoring women's rights is not only a moral issue but also a very efficient way to pursue poverty reduction goals! 202pp
