Description

Product Description This important book makes a vital academic and political statement in the cause of social justice. It begins with an appreciation of the seminal contributions of Peter Townsend (1928-2009), and applies them to contemporary policy debates. It brings together many of the leading contributors to current debates in this field and provides a compelling manifesto for change for students and researchers in the social sciences, policy makers and practitioners, and everybody with an interest in creating a more equal and socially just society. Review This book deals in a scholarly but easily read way with many of the questions we are now debating.... David Donnison in Scottish Review Part biography, part manifesto, part a work of research and scholarship, this book is in a fascinating genre of its own. Based on the ideas of the late Peter Townsend, it makes an elegant and powerful contribution to debates of major contemporary importance. Colin Crouch, Warwick Business School About the Author Alan Walker, Professor of Social Policy and Social Gerontology at the University of Sheffield, works across a broad field in social analysis, social policy and social gerontology. Adrian Sinfield, Professor Emeritus of Social Policy at the University of Edinburgh, has worked on social security, poverty, unemployment and the social division of welfare. Carol Walker, Professor of Social Policy at the University of Lincoln, works in the areas of poverty, social security, and the quality of life of people with learning difficulties and their family carers as they age.
