Illustrated throughout with maps and line drawings, 'The
Traveller's History of Ireland' will help you discover Ireland's
past and present.
As the state of America's children and families continues to
degenerate, the human services system struggles to render the
support it was designed to provide. Despite such efforts, American
families have difficulty accessing services; they are forced to
navigate an incomprehensible system where quantity is often deemed
insufficient and quality is compromised. Simultaneously,
expenditures on human services have soared to record levels,
further spurring both concerns and efforts to reform and better
integrate a sadly dysfunctional system. In the first comprehensive
synthesis of the history, theory, and practice of service
integration, Sharon Lynn Kagan, with Peter R. Neville, explores why
past efforts to reform the human service system have had only
isolated triumphs and marginal impact in improving the quality of
life for children and families. Tracing the history of human
services in America from the colonial period to the present, the
author analyzes the underlying assumptions, barriers, and
strategies that have characterized the service integration
movement. Drawing on history, empirical research, and intellectual
theory, as well as on the personal experiences of practitioners and
leaders, the author extracts principles and insights that offer new
directions for future social service reform. Published in
cooperation with the National Center for Service Integration
