add to cart   close window

The article presents information about several books. The books are: "The Neighborhood in Nation-Building," by Robert A. Woods, "Social Work in the Light of History," by Stuart Alfred Queen and "Education and Training for Social Work," by James H. Tufts. Professor Queen's book is an attempt to put social work into proper historical perspective. It contains the material of the usual university course on the history of charity, but, in presenting that material, the author first describes the existing situation, and then, resolutely facing forward, takes four successive leaps backward to the medieval manor, running forward a few steps after each backward jump.
