商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

從氣候變遷和不平等到移民和全球衝突，本書探討了當前時代的定義性挑戰。經過修訂並新增九個章節，該書匯集了頂尖學者，展示社會科學如何幫助我們理解複雜事件和全球趨勢。透過對氣候正義、民粹主義、生產力、可持續發展和社會福祉的新見解，揭示了這些議題之間的深刻聯繫。

在社會科學學院的支持下，本書顯示經濟學、教育學、政治學、心理學和社會學等學科對於理解那些看似純粹技術或自然的發展是多麼重要。它提倡跨學科合作，以確保科學、技術和政策能夠服務於公共利益。無論您是好奇的讀者、政策制定者還是學者，本書都強而有力地論證了為什麼社會科學現在比以往任何時候都更重要，以及理解人類行為和社會如何能幫助塑造更美好的未來。
