In many ways, the central issues of these fields have roots extending to the observations and speculations of ancient philosophers, creating a continuous exploration by diverse explorers in diverse historic and cultural circumstances over several centuries of the qualities of human existence. What we have not had so far is a single, multidimensional reference work connecting the most salient and important contributions to the relevant fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEntries will be organized alphabetically and cover basic concepts, relatively well-established facts, lawlike and causal relations, theories, methods, standardized tests, biographic entries on significant figures, organizational profiles, indicators and indexes of qualities of individuals and of communities of diverse sizes, including rural areas, towns, cities, counties, provinces, states, regions, countries and groups of countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Filomena Maggino\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031172981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031172984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 8100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 55.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 19.21h x 15.20w x 10.16d","brand":"Filomena Maggino","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47611867365631,"sku":"9783031172984","price":4999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2282ab9b-2775-4bd0-bcd5-df60e25ea9da.jpg?v=1764516603","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/encyclopedia-of-quality-of-life-filomena-maggino-9783031172984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
