- Synopsis
- From climate change and inequality to migration and global conflict, this book explores the defining challenges of our time. Revised and featuring nine new chapters, it brings together top scholars to demonstrate how the social sciences help us make sense of complex events and global trends. With fresh insights into climate justice, populism, productivity, sustainable development, and social wellbeing, it reveals how these issues are deeply interconnected. Supported by the Academy for Social Sciences, the book shows how disciplines such as economics, education, political science, psychology, and sociology are essential for understanding developments that may seem purely technological or natural. It champions interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure science, technology, and policy serve the public good. Whether you're a curious reader, policymaker, or academic, this book makes a compelling case for why the social sciences matter now more than ever—and how understanding human behaviour and society can help shape a better future. With contributions by: Howard Newby, Jonathan Michie, Cary L. Cooper, Jayati Ghosh, Joshua Lincoln, Oz Hassan, Robin Cohen, Iyiola Solanke, Bart van Ark, Mary O&’Mahony, Dirk Pilat, James Campbell Quick, Robert J. Gatchel, Camilla Toulmin, Dave Cowan, Sally Wheeler, Mike Hough, Andreas J. Stylianides, Gabriel J. Stylianides, Marya Besharov, Catherine Hasted and Will Hutton.
