"International Issues in Social Work and Social Welfare "will be used as a supplementary textbook in upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses across the social work curriculum, including Intro to SW and Social Welfare, HBSE, Social Policy, and International Social Work. The book will be a contemporary collection of articles covering important international issues such as women's rights, child soldiers, disaster preparedness, and aiding refugees.

What makes this book unique in comparison to others with the same topic coverage is the journalistic presentation of the material. The writing style of each article is engaging and reader-friendly, and should really interest students because of the chapter opening human interest stories.
