This third edition of a standard introduction to community work brings together theory and practical advice in a concise yet comprehensive guide to the main tasks, challenges and debates facing community workers. Mixing enthusiasm for his subject with realism about what can actually be achieved, Alan Twelvetrees guides the reader through the issues in a straightforward and supportive way. This is a substantially revised and rewritten new edition, offering an up-to-date handbook for students and practitioners alike.
