Author Description

Community development happens within a community, it does not happen to the community. It’s about empowering a community to develop from within.This text, developed by Canadian professors for Canadian classes, fills a gap. Brown and Hannis bring a unique Canadian perspective with this all-Canadian textbook. Designed for one-semester courses in colleges and universities, this succinct text covers three main areas in 11 chapters: History and Intro to Policies and Theory; Development of Skills; and Practice Issues. Through the inclusion of discussion questions and case studies, students can develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject from both a theoretical and practical perspective.
