Community and local governance in Australia

Community and local governance in Australia Book Notes Social work: Fields of practice. Second Edition. South Melbourne: Oxford University Press. 2005. ISBN 0195550471. $55.00 Alston, Margaret & McKinnon, Jennifer (Eds) This revised and updated second edition provides a broad overview of the main fields of practice in social work. By examining the areas in which the majority of social workers are employed it introduces student social workers to the ‘flavour’ of each field. The book also examines the breadth of social work practice in a way that acknowledges its uniquely Australian aspects. The book is clear and easy-to-use, enhanced by new pedagogy and divided into three parts. Part I relates to target groups for social work practice. Part II examines social work practice settings including health care, housing and child protection. Finally, part III documents emerging trends and issues in fields of social work practice such as working with rural Australians, refugees, and the environment. Sydney: UNSW Press. 2005. ISBN 0868407755. $39.95 Smyth, Paul., Reddel, Tim., & Andrew Jones (Eds) This book examines the resurgence in Australia of locality-based social policy (concerned with the spatial dimensions of disadvantage), after the political failures of the market oriented approach to regional reform. The book proposes that these trends are leading to a new ‘post-competition’ policy regime in Australia that mirrors global policy trends. 576 Australian Journal of Social Issues Vol.40 No.4 Summer 2005 http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Social Issues Wiley
