Description

The 1998 State of the World's Children report concerns a silent emergency known as malnutrition. Rising out of the combined onslaught of poverty and preventable diseases, malnutrition takes the lives of nearly 200 million children (aged five or younger) every single day--most of them in the developing world. Malnutrition also threatens mental and physical development, and can have, as illustrated in this important new UNICEF volume, severely harmful effects on children, families, and--ultimately--the social and economic growth of nations. - from Amzon
