Introduction to Community Development

Theory, Practice, and Service-Learning

This book provides interactional material and good sound underpinning definitions of community development in diverse & varied contexts. I t is USA focused and has many examples of theory to practice within USA cultural context, this can be a little disconcerting at first, but nonetheless puts meat to the bones of practice based work. Good layout.

The book is relevant to the course i am teaching. the students will benefit from it. thanks.

Will use as a supplemental text for macro social work course

American. Although this book contains some interesting ideas and examples, it has been written for the United States, and as such uses terms such as 'federal' and some parts refer to legislation that does not apply in the UK.

It helped put applied organizational communication into a social context

Comprehensive theoretical and practical introduction to the field of community development
