Book synopsis

Today's society is on the brink of exciting new possibilities, yet is also beset with problems. Banks are in trouble; climate change threatens; the problems of caring for an increasing elderly population; phone hacking; genetic 'engineering'; immigration and unemployment; families grieving for those who did not come home from an expensive war. Public issues and private troubles are as interlaced as ever. And, big or small, problems need solutions and solutions need to be based on robust evidence. This volume, consisting of especially-commissioned essays on topics of prime concern, takes a considered look at these problems, and their possible solutions, and aims to show how a social scientist's 'take' can throw new light onto the topics in question.
