Once again, Michael offers a comprehensive overview of rural social work practice within the United States. This edition adds a much needed chapter on social, economic, and environmental justice given the often disproportionate injustices experienced within rural communities. A must read for any social work practitioner working in, researching about, or teaching on content related to rural communities.
