The strength of this text is its emphasis on the macro level of child welfare. It is important to me to place the field of child welfare in the context of larger cultural, social and political trends. \u003ci\u003e-- Dale Weaver, California State University--Los Angeles \u003c\/i\u003e  ","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50176683213073,"sku":"CIN0801315107VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763029512465,"sku":"CIN0801315107G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53481707766033,"sku":"CIN0801315107A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0801315107.jpg?v=1751264571"},{"product_id":"sovereign-s-daughter-book-susan-downs-9781597899833","title":"The Sovereign's Daughter","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53391262417169,"sku":"CIN1597899836G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53397318697233,"sku":"CIN1597899836VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781597899833.jpg?v=1775686325"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-susan-downs.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
