Roger Jowell Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

This volume is the first to be written by members of the international academic team involved in the groundbreaking European Social Survey (ESS) which has been designed to chart and explain the interaction between Europe′s changing institutions and the attitudes, beliefs and behavior patterns of its diverse populations. Measuring Attitudes Lessons from the European Social Survey maps the theory and practice of a uniquely innovative and rigorous multinational attitudinal social survey. It is essential reading for researchers across the social sciences that have an interest in the design, planning or interpretation of cross-national social surveys.

The essays in this book are drawn from a conference held in London on the subject of Quality of Life in London and New York papers on a range of important metropolitan concerns were presented by experts from both sides of the Atlantic within universities, government and the private sector. The conference was covered by SCPR (Social and Community Planning Research) and funded by the commonwealth fund of New York. The London essays are collected within this volume. They cover employment and the labour market (Ian Gordon), crime (Mike Hugh and Pat Mayhew), civility and public space (Ken Young), transport (Tony Ridley), housing (Christine Whitehead) and education (Donald Naismith), with introductory and concluding overviews by Howard Davies and A. H. Halsey. Together they cover the key factors that influence the quality of life in London, offering penetrating analyses and possible solutions.
