Written by foremost social work educator Ronald Federico and revised by William Whitaker, the second edition of Social Welfare in Today's World remains true to the original purpose of the text--to provide a comparative analysis for students of our social welfare system in light of others, with examples drawn from Mexico, Poland, and Sweden. The book is structured around a series of key questions such as: What is social welfare?, Why do we need it?, Why is it controversial? The questions provide a framework for the chapters, which then answer the questions while at the same time covering the basics of the social welfare system. Through the use of vivid examples and cases, the text enables students to connect with the real people who are the consumers of social welfare services and programs.

A stunning celebration of the architect’s residential masterpieces Louis Kahn (1901–1974), one of the most important architects of the postwar period, is widely admired for his great monumental works, including the Kimbell Art Museum, the Salk Institute, and the National Assembly Complex in Bangladesh. However, the importance of his houses has been largely overlooked. This beautiful book is the first to look at Kahn’s nine major private houses. Beginning with his earliest encounters with Modernism in the late 1920s and continuing through his iconic work of the 1960s and 1970s, the authors trace the evolution of the architect’s thinking, which began and matured through his design of houses and their interiors, a process inspired by his interactions with clients and his admiration for vernacular building traditions.
Richly illustrated with new and period photographs and original drawings, as well as previously unpublished materials from personal interviews, archives, and Kahn’s own writings, The Houses of Louis Kahn shows how his ideas about domestic spaces challenged conventions, much like his major public commissions, and were developed into one of the most remarkable expressions of the American house.
