Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

'...extremely good value for money; an essential for everyone's shelves.'

The second edition of this text has been thoroughly revised and updated to ensure that it continues to provide a comprehensive survey of social work practice and theory. New chapters covering the changing nature of social work and advocacy and empowerment approaches have been included, and the editors have added a new conclusion in which they reflect on the past, present and future of social work. All of the chapters have been revised to cover the most recent debates and developments in research and practice.

He is a qualified social worker who worked in the penal system before running a community-based project for Barnardo's.

LENA DOMINELLI is Professor of Social and Community Development at the University of Southampton. She has worked as a social worker, probation officer and community worker. Her main interests centre around the development of emancipatory forms of practice and recent books include Anti-Racist Social Work (second edition) and Sociology for Social Work.

2008-01-15 Good for Assignments.

I used this book in all three years of the social work degree course, dipping in and out for assignments, which makes it very good value for money. It is not as easy to read as Neil Thompson's books but it is more in depth and the conclusions at the end of chapters tend to pull the information together and solidify it in the mind. This book was on the essential reading list at Northumbria University and it is well deserving of it's place there, this is a book that should be bought rather than borrowed as it is useful for so many different units.
