In a fresh, elegant, and accessible manner, Human Behavior and the Social Environment, Micro Level explores the nuances of the biological, psychological, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of our social lives. Drawing on examples from social work, psychology, literature, philosophy, and current events, it richly illustrates human development and behavior, both normal and abnormal. Katherine van Wormer skillfully integrates recent research ranging from brain imaging to international surveys on happiness, lending extraordinary insight into our drives and motivations. The result is a singular textbook that truly bridges theory and practice by revealing the patterns and paradoxes of our behavior in the social context.

*Teaches from a global, cross-cultural, perspective, highlighting themes of empowerment and social justice
*Features dynamic readings and personal narratives that highlight each chapter's topic
*Accompanied by an online instructor's manual with Power Points for lecture presentations, chapter summaries, key terms, suggested classroom activities, and a test bank with essay and multiple choice questions

I always wanted to write a book about the more fascinating aspects of human behavior, not just theories about such behavior. This book was exciting to write; the photos come from the work of members of my family who crossed the U.S. to take them.The human behavior book takes an ecosystems-empowerment perspective.
