520    Providing extensive surveys on the most recently developed
       themes of individual and social well-being, this Handbook 
       offers a comprehensive treatment of less traditional 
       approaches to empirical and theoretical research. The 
       novel complementary perspective by which each topic is 
       addressed presents a broader outlook on the various 
       dimensions of inequality and well-being. Each topic is 
       assessed through two accompanying chapters: first, a 
       detailed study of the theoretical approaches, followed by 
       a supporting chapter of empirical findings. The original 
       contributions cover themes ranging from human development 
       to social exclusion, and from going beyond GDP as the 
       primary indicator of progress to evaluating the 
       persistence of poverty. The chapters also address measures
       of vulnerability and economic insecurity. The Handbook 
       emphasizes the distributional aspects of inequalities 
       across different groups through the analysis of 
       polarization, segregation, and social fractionalization. 
       This is an excellent Handbook for postgraduates and 
       researchers in the social sciences and economics. The 
       contributions rethink some of the traditional theories and
       models for measuring inequality and well-being, and push 
       the boundaries for future research. The policy-relevant 
       insights will also be of great use for social policy 
       professionals and analysts.
