Format:Paperback
The content of Fiona Williams' book is excellent but I found it hard going. At once penetrating the author's turgid style AND grasping the concepts she's writing about isn't easy. It's probably OK for final year undergraduates and certainly post-graduates. My advice would be to read an extract or, better still, look at a library copy, before you buy.

This book is very dry, boring and difficult to read. But if you've got a social policy assignment then get reading!
