This immensely readable collection is indispensable for anyone who wants to think about how they think about 'development', and should be forced on all who don't.

The literature on categorization reveals there is a plethora of definitions, theories, models and methods to apprehend this central object of study. The contributions in this handbook reflect this diversity.
