This edited volume is the first in a new series, with chapters from researchers and social professionals covering topics from Argentina, Canada, Italy, Spain, and the U.S. As a whole the book also lays the groundwork for building a theoretical base that both unites and strengthens the field itself, while also opening a space to analyze and understand particular professions and contexts.
In terms of KNOWLEDGE, this edited volume starts a new series that will envision the field in a comprehensive manner. This task includes reflections on social professions and their past, present and future roles, in a so-called well-being knowledge society. The series will include chapters from concept to theory and practice since social action can be established from different worldviews. The conceptualization of social reference models, and the redefinition of the different social professions, can be related to existing or necessary social intervention practices in the coming decades. The series also addresses social professions and planning and its role in knowledge building. The reader will find reflections on the current role of the social professions in the design, development and evaluation of social projects; and the possibilities of incorporating social professionals into the design processes of the future of human groups. Next the series envisions the frontiers on social planning research. In the 21st century, the interdisciplinarity of the interventions opens a new path of collaboration and multidisciplinary training for professionals. It is time to reflect on how the social professions will be configured in the near future, and to make proposals to connect and further their collaboration. What is the research agenda in the sphere of the current social sphere and what are the challenges for the coming decades? Interdisciplinary proposals are especially interesting in this regard.
In terms of ACTION, the series looks at global and local contexts in social professions and social planning. Global policies increasingly define contextualized action, financing large social programs that segment into local projects. This requires collecting examples of these segmentation processes, reflections on the most effective ways of financing local projects and new trends in this area. Next it looks at social planning and social professions analysis or methodologies. This area focuses on research methods, qualitative and quantitative, from different disciplines-ie economics, sociology, education, anthropology, psychology, biomedical sciences-and different perspectives (positivist, hermeneutic, critical). . Finally it addresses collective action, institutional leverage and public policies. Contributions will relate to public policies in different parts of the world for the development of social projects, as well as the action of civil society, ie NGO, charity, foundations-and new forms of financing social projects, such as crowdfunding. Examples may include already developed projects and the results of their evaluation.
It is both appropriate and timely to continue promoting the visibility of social professions, understood in a broad sense, from an international and multidisciplinary vision, which supports a holistic model of social intervention and not a reductionist vision of these professions, and brings them closer to collaboration and the development of synergies in social intervention. For this reason, we believe it is important to continue the series started in this volume, which in the future will try to present different social professions, their challenges and their future potential to develop more inclusive and caring societies.

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
