"This timely book provides a comprehensive and informative discussion of social work research with an international perspective that will be valuable in an increasingly interdependent world."--Jordan I. Kosberg, The University of Alabama Endowed Chair, School of Social Work, The University of Alabama"As far as I know, no other book of comparable quality and scope is currently available. It will meet a felt need of many social work educators and scholars, social work librarians, personnel in international organizations, and research-oriented human services professionals in the United States and abroad."--Shanti Khinduka, George Warren Brown Distinguished University Professor, George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington University in St. Louis"This 'first of its kind' book makes a major contribution to the literature on social work research. The authors show how social works knowledge base can be informed by international research and how this, in turn, enhances practice effectiveness. The book is well-written, comprehensive, interesting and informative. Tripodi and Potocky-Tripodi are to be congratulated on their pioneering contribution to the field."--James Midgley, Specht Professor and Dean,School of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley"This timely book provides a comprehensive and informative discussion of social work research with an international perspective that will be valuable in an increasingly interdependent world."--Jordan I.
