Great shopping experience...definitely recommend this seller. 
This transaction was very easy. I ordered this book for a class I'm taking, and it arrived in time and as described.

Never Received it 
The book was apparently out of stock when I ordered it, so I ended up having to buy the book for nearly $40 more at the bookstore a week later than I needed it.

Admin and Policy 
Great intro book into the world of social work policy. Easy to read but not dumbed down. Also contains a strong section on the history of social work...A+ for that!

Text Book Written 
It is what you get. It is a scholarly text book written as a text book. It does what it needs to do and that is inform. It does not attempt to capture interest or make the reading enjoyable. Although, it is informative which that is its only motive.

Informative and concise
I read this book (in conjunction with other texts) for a graduate section of a Social Policies class, and was impressed with the ease both authors transformed the abstract and dry into something exciting and inspiring. No, social policy is not the most glamorous field for college students to enter, and unarguably the American system's shrinkage is going to pose severe problems in the next couple of years, but emotional and moral rewards of doing what is right make this venture worth it. Alternately, the authors balance this view with pragmatic political approaches that equip the reader with introductory strategies to hold off or even staunch further erosion of American social policy. The book by itself is enjoyable, but advanced classes should use the American Welfare State as a supplementary text for historical background.
