Rezensionen
"A particular strength of this book for me is the inclusion of contributors and content from diverse parts of the world ... this volume successfully demonstrates the breadth and relevance of the concept of QoL ... . This book is a good introductory text and will be most useful for teachers and course designers looking to incorporate the teaching of QoL into their modules or courses. However, some of the chapters will also be relevant to policy-makers." (Lisa Wiebesiek, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, Vol. 23 (2), 2022)
