Lena Dominelli Bücher

In this lively introduction suitable for students at any level, Lena Dominelli explores the extraordinary scope and importance of social work. Using engaging examples from contemporary social work practice, she clearly answers questions about what social work is, how social workers work in a variety of settings and the clients they are likely to deal with. She tackles head on the dilemmas social workers face in their day-to-day work and the challenges of working with limited resources and marginalized social groups such as the elderly, the homeless and abused children. This work will affirm the valuable contribution social workers can make to human wellbeing and demonstrate how the promise and potential of social work can be, and is, realized.

Disasters impact individuals and communities on various levels, from local households to global contexts. They are often complex and multi-layered, with events in one area having direct or indirect repercussions on other regions and sentient beings. The book explores these interconnected effects, highlighting the far-reaching implications of disasters in both societal and international frameworks.
