Synopsis

An authentic breakthrough in the text literature for Human Behavior and Social Environment courses! These two paperback volumes provide a rich understanding of person, environment, and time unmatched in other texts, and are acutely sensitive to difference, diversity, and the mission of social work. The texts provide an integrated micro/macro perspective on human behavior. Insights into human behavior from biology, the physical environment, and the humanities add a dimension to these texts not found elsewhere. Numerous teaching aids show students what happens in real practice and how to prepare for it.
