Human behavior in the social environment: a macro, national, and international perspective

Human Behavior and the Social Environment: A Macro, National, and International Perspective is a core textbook for courses on human behavior in the social environment. The book takes a macro//international perspective and examines how the individual develops in relation to their social environment (family, group, community, organizations). The book takes a unique approach by incorporating international issues of globalization, which has been an emerging issue in social work. Although it takes this unique perspective, it still covers the basics of macro social work on a national level. Other important areas that are not well represented in competing texts includes coverage of rural issues, theimpact of hurricane Katrina on social and community resources, human rights and social justice, the increasing impact of increasing rates of incarceration,and a special section focusing on crisis theory.
