‘In a world more and more affected by natural and hu(man)-made disasters, this volume provides not only a theoretical framework on "green social work", but also comprehensive and truly international examples of social work interventions in degraded environments. Teachers, students, professionals, environmental activists and politicians will find much to stimulate their thinking upon reading this book. Its breadth and scope features existing actions in prominent environmental issues and community sustainability that those engaged in the social work profession are concerned about. These inspirational examples offer hope and practical ways forward for addressing some of the world’s most intractable problems. Dominelli’s edited Handbook is a must read for students, scholars, practitioners, politicians, environmentalists and communities. It is organized so that they can focus on their particular interests, a chapter at a time.’ Annamaria Campanini, President, the International Association of Schools of Social Work, Professor in Social Work, Department of Sociology and Social Research, University Milano Bicocca, Italy
