"Katherine van Wormer has achieved her purpose very well in this highly informative book that teaches us about being human from a cross-cultural perspective...The result is a unique textbook that truly bridges theory and practice. Specific strengths of this book are its highly readable writing style, extensive empirical documentation, and the application of content covered to the field of social work."--Cindy Snyder, Western Kentucky University "Katherine van Wormer has achieved her purpose very well in this highly informative book that teaches us about being human from a cross-cultural perspective...The result is a unique textbook that truly bridges theory and practice. Specific strengths of this book are its highly readable writing style, extensive empirical documentation, and the application of content covered to the field of social work."--Cindy Snyder, Western Kentucky University "Together, the two books by van Wormer and van Wormer, Besthorn and Keefe on Human Behavior and the Social Environment give a comprehensive overview of human behavior in the wider social context. They provide increased awareness of the connections between individual behavior, circumstances, cultural and global influences as well as ethical considerations that must form a part of personal and professional decision-making. Although these books sit well together, each one can also stand competently alone."--International Social Work "Katherine van Wormer has achieved her purpose very well in this highly informative book that teaches us about being human from a cross-cultural perspective...The result is a unique textbook that truly bridges theory and practice.
