  For the first time in history, it is within our reach to eradicate world poverty and the suffering it brings.

  A billion people struggle to live each day on less than many of us pay for a bottle of water.

  Nearly ten million children die each year from poverty-related causes.

  Our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but ethically indefensible.

  If we are not to turn our backs on a fifth of the world's population, we must become part of the solution.

  This is the right time to ask yourself: `What should I be doing to help?'

  Peter Singer's unflinching, persuasive and rigorous book is a call to action. It not only suggests what you should be doing, but also shows you how you can do it.

  It shows you the life you can save.
