Synopsis

Social Work In The Light Of History is a book written by Stuart Alfred Queen and first published in 1922. The book provides a comprehensive historical overview of the development of social work, from its origins in ancient civilizations to the modern era. Queen examines the various factors that have influenced the growth of social work, including religious and humanitarian movements, government policies, and the changing needs of society. He also explores the different approaches to social work, including charity, reform, and prevention, and how these have evolved over time. The book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of social work and the social welfare system, and provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing social workers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

English no adequate presentation of the subject in the light of history. Nothing available takes the place filled by the present book of Professor Queen. It places the subject of social service in the perspective of historical development, sets forth the practical lessons of experience which the long past has enforced, and reveals the tendencies which must be understood by those who wish to participate in the next steps of progress in this department of human endeavor. This is the first volume to appear in the Lippincott sociological series. This series is designed to present a systematic summary of the most substantial results that have been achieved in the different subdivisions of sociology. The volumes fall naturally into two divisions. The books included in the first group will be devoted to pure science, that is to the endeavor to know and understand the facts of social life, undiverted by any other aim. The books of the second group will be devoted to practical sociology, and will deal with topics which have obvious relation to welfare and progress. However, the books of the first group will set forth teachings that, in many instances, have quite as far-reaching practical importance as any which will be contained in volumes that have an obviously practical aim. And the books of the second group, though dealing with subjects which compel a practical interest, will be written in a thoroughly scientific spirit.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Contacts, and Social Values and Valuations. Intermediate between the two groups will be a volume on Social Progress intended to set forth the more general applications of sociological knowledge. In addition to the present volume on Social Work in the Light of History, books that will fall in the second group are being prepared on important subjects, including Sociology and Education, Problems of Population, and Criminology. While the series when completed will present the logical and systematic character just described, the order of publication will depend upon the time when the different volumes are brought to completion by their authors. It is the intention to preserve the freedom of the writers to work under the conditions by which they can achieve the best results. Each book will be complete in itself, but planned with reference to all the others, so that the series as a whole will fulfill as nearly as possible the ideal of a logical summary of the product of the intellectual movement which goes by the name of sociology.
