  9. reading: the things you learn • “Books are works of the mind, which through the variety of their contents and different forms of human expression, feed our shared intellectual heritage in all its diversity” (Rosi, 2005, p. 3) • “The donation of books is all too often no more than a grand gesture without any real impact, because it fails to contribute to the lasting promotion of books and reading in the target countries” (Rosi, 2005, p. 5) • “We are used to thinking of a book as a precious object in itself, a valuable resource which will be appreciated at all times and in all contexts. In reality, a book can be unimportant and even a quite unusable object in some situations and for some readers” (Rosi, 2005, p. 22) Rosi, M. (2005). Book donations for development. Canada: UNESCO.
