Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Community and Human Services: Concepts for Practice offers an introduction to the key concepts, theories and perspectives of community and human services in Australia. Written for students of human services and social work, it outlines the more challenging and emerging fields of practice and highlights the real-life situations they may encounter with clients when working in their chosen profession. The text includes a brief history of the industry to provide a background to understanding the evolution of social policy, legislation and human service organisations.
Throughout the text 'Implications for Practice' activities encourage students to give importance to self-reflective practice and self-care. Practice-relevant case examples further demonstrate the work-ready skills that students will find essential in order to prepare themselves for effective and beneficial work in the human services sector.
