At the same time it is also the first book framing the fields of global socio-economic development, world health, human rights, peace studies, sustainability, and poverty within the challenge of alleviating suffering and improving quality of life. Both international studies and global development have become specialized and fragmented, whereas this work assembles all of these development fragments together in order to determine whether common ground exists to make headway in reducing global suffering. Leading experts in these various fields of development and suffering have been recruited worldwide to give scholarly assessments of the major human problems and how they can be successfully tackled. 000806840 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000806840 650_0 $$aQuality of life. 000806840 650_0 $$aSuffering. 000806840 7001_ $$aAnderson, Ronald E.$$q(Ronald Eugene),$$d1941-$$eeditor. 000806840 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319513907$$z9783319513904$$w(OCoLC)964378627 000806840 830_0 $$aSocial indicators research series ;$$vv. 67. 000806840 852__ $$bebk 000806840 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-51391-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000806840 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:806840$$pGLOBAL_SET 000806840 980__ $$aEBOOK 000806840 980__ $$aBIB 000806840 982__ $$aEbook 000806840 983__ $$aOnline 000806840 994__ $$a92$$bISE
