This is the first in-depth guide to global community psychology research and practice, history and development, theories and innovations, presented in one field-defining volume. This book will serve to promote international collaboration, enhance theory utilization and development, identify biases and barriers in the field, accrue critical mass for a discipline that is often marginalized, and to minimize the pervasive US-centric view of the field.

El Trabajo Social y su acción profesional es continuación de El Trabajo Social y sus instrumentos (Nau Llibres, 2012). En esta nueva propuesta, la mirada se dirige claramente al siglo XXI. En él, el Trabajo Social será más feminista, más profesional y más investigador. En este siglo perturbador, el trabajo social deberá comprometerse con la obtención de más calidad en sus resultados profesionales, más proximidad y una relación más cálida con las personas y su derecho a la autodeterminación y más participación para conseguir la organización de una sociedad mejor y con menos desigualdades. Más todavía que en el libro anterior, el interés de este se centra en un diálogo justo y equilibrado entre la práctica y la teoría: la mejor teoría puede dar los mejores resultados y la mejor práctica puede orientar la mejor teoría. La epistemología y la intervención psicosocial tienen un espacio privilegiado, dedicándole también un capítulo a las instituciones del Trabajo Social. Se muestran las diferentes facetas del dinero en una profesión en la que la evaluación socio-económica supone una parte importante del trabajo. No se olvida a las personas y ya desde el prólogo hasta el último capítulo, aparecen casos e historias, narradas profesionalmente pero también con el arte de buenos novelistas. Se muestran las líneas generales de lo que podrá ser el trabajo social futuro, a la luz de las investigaciones más recientes. El texto acerca los mejores conocimientos del trabajo social a investigadoras y profesoras, a profesionales y a estudiantes para provocar debate y diálogo, consensos y puentes, conocimiento y autoconocimiento, desde la reflexión sosegada de la lectura de un libro.

The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Student Writing presents an accessible and thought-provoking study of academic writing practices. Informed by 'composition' research from the US and 'academic literacies studies' from the UK, the book challenges current official discourse on writing as a 'skill'. Lillis argues for an approach which sees student writing as social practice. The book draws extensively on a three-year study with ten non-traditional students in higher education and their experience of academic writing. Using case study material - including literacy history interviews, extended discussions with students about their writing of discipline specific essays, and extracts from essays - Lillis identifies the following as three significant dimensions to academic writing: * Access to higher education and to its language and literacy representational resources * Regulation of meaning making in academic writing * Desire for participation in higher education and for choices over ways of meaning in academic writing. Student Writing: access, regulation, desire raises questions about why academics write as they do, who benefits from such writing, which meanings are valued and how, on what terms 'outsiders' get to be 'insiders' and at what costs.
