The added activities are well thought out and can be adapted or expanded to suit the needs of particular students."Hedley Bashforth, Teaching Fellow in Social Policy, University of Bath, UK"Social Policy: An Introduction, now in its fourth edition and eleventh year, will remain a core social policy text on reading lists across the country due to its well written and comprehensive nature. Completely revised, it has been updated and extended to reflect contemporary developments in social policy and contains updated pedagogical features, including activities for the reader, learning outcomes at the start of each chapter and detailed case studies throughout."Dr Liam Foster, University of Sheffield, UK"This book provides, as it states, an introduction to the field and does so by adopting a highly attractive pedagogic style that evidences, at every turn, a sensitivity to the approaches to learning of contemporary students. What Blakemore and Warwick-Booth have produced is a clearly laid out and well-structured analysis of impressive breadth that is a readily accessible learning instrument both for student and teacher. Importantly, it provides numerous opportunities to experiment with new ways of approaching the teaching of the subject."Steen Mangen, Department of Social Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK A highly respected introductory textbook to social policy, updated to cover recent developments.
