*Reflective Teaching*

Reflecting on Service-Learning in Higher Education is a readable edited collection that reflects on the state of academia and society in a compelling and proactive discussion. This book is social, constructivist, and critical while providing next step suggestions for teachers as well as community leaders. A new paradigm is upon us.
*Steven J. Madden, Coastal Carolina University*

Hickey offers a valuable addition to the service-learning literature. Drawing on an array of disciplines, this edited collection serves to connect illustrative examples with service-learning concepts. Notably, it incorporates recent as well as foundational service-learning literature. This book will be particularly useful to those with an interest in immigrant populations. I recommend this book as a resource for readers looking to expand their service-learning 'toolbox.'
*Meryl Nadel, Iona College*

This wide-ranging collection grounds scholar-practitioners in universal, best-practice approaches to service-learning, and engages in disciplinary stances that demonstrate the myriad ways in which we can do this sort of work across contexts.
