What reviewers are saying:
“I found the Crosson-Tower text to be superior in both breadth and depth of the topics covered. Combined with the positive responses I have received from my students I would not consider using any other text.” --- William M. McGuigan, Pennsylvania State University
“This text provides a wealth of useful information. Many of the students advise me that they will not return or sell back their books at the end of the quarter because it is a good reference for them while they are working within their profession.” -- Theresa Johnson, Ohio University
“This text is easily readable, and it clearly presents a basic overview of child welfare issues. Clarity is one of the greatest strengths of the book, as is the broad range of the discussion on child welfare topics.” --- Toni Chance, University of Maryland
