| introduction to human services third edition: Human Rights Darren O'Byrne, 2014-06-06 Human Rights: An Introduction is an important text that provides a comprehensive overview of human rights and related issues from a social science perspective. First, this book does more than discuss theory, it uses case studies and personal testimonies in the debate. Human rights as an area of academic interest cannot be easily divorced from human rights struggles and the reality of contemporary conditions. Second, the book is aimed at what is an emerging and growing cross-disciplinary field of study. Human rights issues are increasingly coming to the fore in a number of academic debates. Whereas the study of human rights has traditionally been included in departments of law, international relations and philosophy, a number of courses are now being set up in departments of sociology and anthropology. Consequently, there is an increasing need to bring these disparate approaches together. |

| introduction to human services third edition: Introduction to Human Services: Through the Eyes of Practice Settings [rental Edition] Michelle E Martin, 2021 The fifth edition of Introduction to Human Services: Through the Eyes of Practice Settings includes many important updates and additions reflecting the many changes that have occurred in the world since the first edition was written, and particularly since 2016.
