Book Review: Exploring social work: An anthropological perspective by Linda Bell

practice and research. Second, this book captures the latest trends. The analysis of innovation and big data refresh readers’ knowledge and impressions of social work. Third, this book mainly discusses the nature of the challenges facing Americans, but “at various points throughout the chapters, we reflect on the international dimension of these social issues as well” (p. 2). Fourth, the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare initiated the Grand Challenges for Social Work in the 21st century, which champions social progress powered by science. It is a call to action for cooperation to tackle the most challenging social problems in the United States (American Academy of Social Work & Social Welfare, 2020). This book systematically responds to part of the Grand Challenges, such as closing the health gap, reducing extreme economic inequality, building financial capacity for all, eliminating racism, creating social responses to a changing environment, advancing long and productive lives, and harnessing big data for social good. In the future, if a second edition is to be published, the editor may wish to consider exploring the following aspects. First, technology utilization, especially information communication technology utilization in human services is the forthcoming trend. It was mentioned briefly in chapter 13. It is necessary to provide an individual chapter for in-depth exploration. Second, the editor could add content related to international cooperation on some topics, such as aging and big data analysis, and so on. Third, at the end of each chapter, the editor might wish to add a list of resources, such as agencies, webpages, databases, links to audios or videos, to deepen readers’ understanding of social problems and solutions. Overall, this book guides the reader to understand the challenges for the U.S. social work profession in the 21st century comprehensively and systematically. Additionally, this book proposes realistic policy and practice solutions. In future editions, the editor might further explore technology utilization, international cooperation, and perhaps list additional resources at the end of each chapter.
