“This book has a number of strengths, including succinctness and an informal, direct style which I think students will find refreshing. It is well organized, logical and clear and it puts policy practice within the framework of social work in an inviting way.”
―E. Michael Gorman, San Jose State University
“Overall this text provides excellent resource information for students and introduces them to a new political vocabulary. The writing style is highly motivating and engaging, also the references and website resources are extremely useful for both students and instructors.”
