Review
An excellent introduction to present day social work which does not patronise or compromise readers, or avoid dealing with the diversity and complexity of the tasks facing practitioners in today's world. Robert Adams should be congratulated for his achievement. Dr. Carol Lewis, Visiting Fellow, School of Health and Social Care, Bournemouth University
'A concise 'Lonely Planet' guide to contemporary social work practice' David Gaylard, University of Chichester
This is a well-crafted book by one of social work's leading authors. It provides an excellent introduction to the field. I particularly welcome the emphasis on social justice. Neil Thompson, Avenue Consulting Ltd
