This handbook is a gift to researchers, practitioners, students and citizens interested in improving the human condition. Through an artful integration of diverse approaches to specific social issues, the editors and contributors manage to combine basic and applied science with practical recommendations for action. The handbook covers issues of importance for modern society, ranging from culture, race, gender, inequality, politics, health, mental health, work, education, the environment and criminal justice. In short, there is something for everyone interested in using science to improve the well-being of individuals, institutions, and the global community. Based on cutting edge research, contributors distill the most relevant and useful recommendations for social change. I highly recommend this handbook to anyone concerned with the state of the human condition. -- Dr Isaac Prilleltensky
