Easy read.

This textbook provided some great overview of the profession of social work. It had a lot of useful information and presented it in a concise manner. I really enjoyed the "Social Work Insights" sections, which provided application to the career. The critical thinking questions didn't really appeal to me nor help me a lot, but that could have just been the nature of the course I'm taking.
