Reviews:

• [T[his is an important book, well worth reading. Most of the chapters provide practical recommendations for families, policy makers, and social providers. Many of these recommendations will be relevant to missionary communitities--parents, teachers, executives, and those specializing in member care. An index adds to the utility of the volume. I highly recommend this book.

• Since it is not likely that there will be fewer global nomads among our population in the future, or around the world for that matter, there is room for even more research into the problems and advantages of this lifestyle. How to help those who need it, how we can fit positive aspects of nomadic growing up into our perception of an increasingly global world are still open questions, but Dr. Ender and his contributors have made and excellent start and this is a book that "rings true," with many, many useful things to say.
