Reviews
Link and Ramanathan's book will be welcomed for its global perspective on human behavior. The authors' diverse practice experiences shine through in numerous case examples and in their skillful balancing of the concepts of the common human condition and cultural competence., [Human Behavior in a Just World] was both a joy to read and added considerably to my own appreciation of the rich cultural contribution that can be made by social workers and the social work profession to social development, indeed to human development more broadly, the world over. The authors are to be commended for their dedication in putting together such a far-reaching conceptual volume "one which, at the same time, is packed with rich examples of international practice in both the local and global contexts that many students and teachers will find highly useful., Human Behavior in a Just World makes an invaluable contribution to social work knowledge and practice. By focusing on "the common human condition," Link and Ramanathan redirect social work's attention away from its decades-long drift toward an increasingly bifurcated and dichotomized understanding of human behavior. The authors make a compelling case for understanding how the interrelated and interdependent reality of material and social connections influence human behavior, and illustrate how adopting this frame of reference enhances the very nature of social practice., [ Human Behavior in a Just World ] was both a joy to read and added considerably to my own appreciation of the rich cultural contribution that can be made by social workers and the social work profession to social development, indeed to human development more broadly, the world over.

Synopsis
This book is for human service, criminal justice and social work students of human behavior at the 'macro' or large systems level. Due to factors such as the migration of labor, human trafficking, increased rate of international adoptions, spread of infectious diseases, regional natural disasters, social workers now practice in a global context. International issues are infused throughout the text and the variety of case studies take students out of their usual place of work and invites them to stretch for increased global and cultural awareness, plus expanded choice of solutions., This dynamic text on human behavior takes a unique international perspective to introduce students to the concepts of large social systems and development. Social workers now practice in an increasingly global context for reasons ranging from migration to international adoptions to developments in technology. Understanding these global connections is essential to social workers today. Human Behavior in a Just World emphasizes the "common human condition" between people, and encourages students to see the powerful connections between environmental conditions and behavior. The authors address key elements of human behavior through a global lens, and discuss powerful global policy instruments and resources, such as the United Nations. Engaging North American and global case studies illustrate the theories in practice.

- _***d (6)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoEl artículo correspondía al de la descripción. Llegó quizá en un bolsa con poca protección por lo que el libro llegó con daños en la cubierta. Hablé con el vendedor y me ofreció muy amablemente un reembolso. Muy contento con el vendedor.
- l***c (29)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoItem in condition described. The shipment tracking was completely opaque and shipping was slow. The seller used a third-party shipping solution provider that gave a USPS tracking number, but, USPS had no real tracking info. I was not able to see any delivery estimate until the day before it arrived. When the delivery date estimate finally materialized, it was off by two days, saying arrival would be on e.g. the 5th when it actually arrived on the 3rd.
- b***3 (501)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoAs the title mentions awesomebooksusa, most books have been rarely awesome but the book prices have been almost generous, granted. Unbelievable services : 3 day international shipping, prompt dispatch, newly book condition, provided tracking, secure package, exactly received book, and safe deliveries. My gratitude to the seller’s thoughts of the needy buyers sending the wanted books to the new residence. Many thanks! Arabella
