Citizenship Social Work - nice review

An encouraging review of my 'Citizenship Social Work with Older People' in one of my favourite American journals, the Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare.

'A welcome addition to the literature on aging...The author brings a wealth of scholarship to this book...This gives the book a richness and range...this book is written in the best tradition of C.Wright Mills...'

'...citizenship social work with older adults...can serve as a useful model for social workers to use in their practice to enable older adults to live well with their aging and to help society to accept responsibility for the life that older people live. This book would be edifying reading for anyone interested in aging and how to maintain the dignity and participation of the aged in society.'

Nice to be compared with C. Wright Mills.
