Sarah Banks, Professor of Community and Youth Work, Durham University An extremely useful introductory text, which covers all of the essential building blocks for an up-to-date understanding of the practice of community development work in the United Kingdom Dr Rosemary Moreland, University of Ulster At GBP11.99, this short guide is a handy reference and a bargain, and an attractive and cleanly designed pocket book. It will be required reading for students. James Derounian in Voluntary Sector Review It's an extremely useful publication, which presents some refreshingly straightforward observations, whilst acknowledging the complexity of the politics and the practice. I will recommend it to students.
