Reviews

This new and timely book offers a very comprehensive, useful and inspiring introduction to encourage social workers in a range of fields to engage with the ecological environment. The editors have brought together a valuable collection of chapters providing an excellent introduction to how the environment might be incorporated further into social work theory, practice and education... This book will be a useful resource for those practitioners seeking to make changes to their work, education and theory, as they more fully incorporate the environment into their practice. - Uschi Bay, Social Work Education: The International Journal
