Starting from the principle that human beings are social beings, he showcases:
* innovative analysis of how social work's identity and diverse streams of thought inform social professions globally;
* social work's dual practice aims of developing human flourishing and social capital;
* community-near co-production, engaging agencies, communities and service users with practitioners from different professions to meet shared aims for social transformation;
* how populist politics and monetising economics corrodes deeply-held human and social values.
Malcolm Payne looks forward to social work practice and provision that puts people and social relationships first in meeting the challenges of twenty-first century caring and environmental crises.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
