'These three volumes [see also Environmental Change and Sustainable Social Development and Global Social Transformation and Social Action: The Role of Social Workers] have the intention of covering the ’most important social aspects of social work and development in the world today’, a writes Sven Hessle, Professor of Social Work at Stockholm University, in the introduction to the volumes. ...
