Sommario/riassunto

The crusades are often seen as epitomising a period when hostility between Christian West and the Muslim Near East reached an all time high. As this edited volume reveals, however, the era was one which saw both conflict and cohabitation.Tackling such questions as whether medicinal and architectural innovations came to Europe as a direct result of the Crusades, and why and how peace treaties and intermarriages were formed between the different cultures, this distinguished group of contributors reveal how the Holy Wars led on the one hand to a reinforcement of the beliefs and identiti

Sommario/riassunto

For decades, social work policy has been geared around checklists, maximizing throughput of cases, and responding to scandals. In this ground-breaking work, Judy Foster makes the case that such biases promote neither efficiency nor client satisfaction. Instead, she urges a complete overhaul, based on five principles: policy coherence; organisational support; autonomy; professional development; and finding space to think. The ideas she puts forward can be taken up by all social workers and those in social care, from their second year of qualifying training, to policy makers and leaders in the field.
