Read The Environment for Children (Earthscan/UNICEF, £13.95, ISBN 1
85383 326 6) for a powerful, pragmatic but angry text about the real lives of
the world’s children and how to change them for the better. David Satterthwaite
and his colleagues at UNICEF have crafted a manifesto of empowerment—from
the gutters and backlots, gardens and adventure playgrounds of the
world—which gives more grounds for optimism than most commentators dream
of.
