"I wish we had had this text when I was in my undergraduate social work program."
“A well-balanced, action-oriented social work book that speaks to advocacy as the heart of the profession.”
“I can imagine students who have no knowledge of social work reading this text as a part of class and getting excited about the possibilities for the kind of work they could do.”
“This is an incredibly readable text.”
“The breadth of coverage is very good, from the basic areas of practice (children, aging, etc.) to ‘newer’ areas like global/international issues and environmentalism. The book’s discussion of international issues makes them seem relevant to today’s social workers wherever they are practicing, and this is an important contribution.”
I chose this book due to the updated nature of the text and nice mix of text, illustrations, thought provoking questions, and supplementary resources
Text is clearly written and easy to follow. The discussion questions facilitates very good class discussions and helps the lecturer to determine the extent to which learning would have occurred.
I think my students will find the text as interesting and informative as I did.
This book is very relevant and easy to read. My students are grasping and understand the fundamentals of social work.
This text provides a meaningful overview of the profession, as well as major social issues. I love the contemporary piece, like an opening with Brene Brown's TED Talk. I am teaching to "traditional" (18-22 year old) students, who I think will find the quick excerpts and online resources approachable and accessible.
