SOCIAL POLICY AND WELFARE SELECTION - OCTOBER 2009
**************************************************
THE PETER TOWNSEND READER
Edited by David Gordon, Hilary Land, Ruth Levitas, Peter Phillimore, Chris
Phillipson, Margot E. Salomon, Alan Walker and Nicola Yeates
"A valuable selection from the writings of an outstanding sociologist whose
analyses have greatly enriched our understanding of social policy and its
impact on people's lives and the wider society." Adrian Sinfield,
University of Edinburgh

HOUSING POLICY TRANSFORMED
The right to buy and the desire to own
Edited by Peter King
"When I showed Mrs Thatcher figures suggesting she should give away all
council housing to tenants her instant reply was 'people will not value
them unless they pay at least something for them'. These and many more
memories of RTB came flooding back as I read King's exceptionally good
book." John Blundell, formerly Director of the Institute of Economic Affairs
http://www.policypress.co.uk/display.asp?K=9781847422132
CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL EVILS
Joseph Rowntree Foundation
"A splendid series of thought-provoking studies on the social evils of our
time, blessedly free of nostalgia, an essential contribution to a
much-needed national debate on the society we seek to make for the sake of
those who will come after us." Chief Rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks

THE GLOBAL SOCIAL POLICY READER
Edited by Nicola Yeates and Chris Holden
"This comprehensive and well edited reader helps us understand the impact
of globalisation and global actors on social problems and programmes across
the world AND the debates about what should happen." Ian Gough, University
of Bath
http://www.policypress.co.uk/display.asp?K=9781847423771
SOCIAL WORK AND CHILD WELFARE POLITICS
Through Nordic lenses
Edited by Hannele Forsberg and Dr Teppo Kröger
"This book is a welcome addition to the international policy literature.
Despite considerable interest in the Nordic welfare model, it is among the
first to examine the distinguishing features of Nordic approaches to child
welfare and provides a timely analysis of Nordic child welfare services in
transition." Karen Healy, The University of Queensland
