Doing Good Departing from Evil: Research Findings in the Twenty-First Century emphasizes that
goodness must be actively enacted not abstractly discussed that evil is present and must be
fought and that in-depth research into problems provides wisdom to proceed with that battle in

about racism propaganda marital tensions educational inequities college dropouts elders'

social work agencies as well as Israelis and Palestinians. This collection offers no easy
answers to complex problems but points the way to potentially positive modes of mending the
world and invites readers to share in this challenging task.
