  Social work is a vital profession dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities. It encompasses a broad range of practices aimed at addressing social issues, alleviating suffering, and promoting social change. Rooted in the principles of social justice, human rights, and empowerment, social work strives to enhance the well-being of marginalized populations while fostering an equitable society. 
    
  At its core, social work is grounded in the understanding that individuals exist within the context of their environment. This ecological perspective highlights the interplay between personal, social, economic, and cultural factors that influence people’s lives. Social workers utilize this holistic approach to assess the needs and challenges faced by clients, recognizing that effective interventions must address not only the individual but also the systemic barriers that contribute to their difficulties. 
    
  Social work practice is diverse, encompassing various fields, including healthcare, mental health, child welfare, education, and community development. Each area requires specialized knowledge and skills, allowing social workers to adapt their interventions to meet the unique needs of different populations. For instance, a social worker in a school setting may focus on supporting students with behavioral challenges, while one in a healthcare facility may advocate for patients navigating complex medical systems.

  In November 2018, a zealous American missionary was killed while attempting to visit an island he called "Satan's last stronghold," a small patch of land known as North Sentinel in the Andaman Islands, a remote archipelago in the Indian Ocean. News of the tragedy fascinated people around the world. Most were unaware such a place still existed in our time: an island unmolested by the advances of modern technology. 
   
   
   
  Twenty years before the American missionary's ill-fated visit, a young American historian and journalist named Adam Goodheart also traveled to the waters off North Sentinel. During his time in the Andaman Islands, he witnessed another isolated tribe emerge into modernity for the first time. 
   
   
   
  Now, Goodheart—a bestselling historian—has returned to the Andamans. The Last Island is a work of history as well as travel, a journey in time as well as place. It tells the stories of others drawn to North Sentinel's mystery through the centuries, from imperial adventurers to an eccentric Victorian photographer to modern-day anthropologists. It narrates the tragic stories of other Andaman tribes' encounters with the outside world. And it shows how the web of modernity is drawing ever closer to the island's shores.
