Review
"Homan's text is one of the most comprehensive texts for explaining the importance and value of community development as a critical strategy for building stronger, safer, and healthier communities and families. It also offers the theory and tools required for a student/practitioner to make positive change happen in the real world."
"The text is a great foundation text for developing community change and should be considered as a text and useful resource guide for developing practice into change."

The worse textbook I ever had to read
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 27, 2016Verified Purchase
The worse textbook I ever had to read. The book is too wordy, boring and could have explained topics without going over the mountain and through the woods.

Redaction Tape
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2020Verified Purchase
I am currently in graduate school, majoring in Social Work with a focus in Public Policy. This book is one of several required text that I have. I gave a rating of 1 because I found tan tape covering portions of text on pages 478 and 479. I will not order from this seller again.
