A Great Starting Point

This book is the best of its kind for social workers--indeed any mental health professional or community organizer--on using the internet for professional and social change purposes. The URLs are OK--basically well chosen but too few and inevitably dated--like every other internet guidebook! But the overview is very clear and the applicationsections are outstanding! The best of its kind for personal learning or teaching purposes. [I don't know Grant or Grobman -- but look forward to meeting them!]
