Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-12 00:00:00 Mathew Dyck A slightly post-modern book. Fortunately the authors are competent and serious researchers, so they do not wander into complete postmodernist nonsense territory, but instead focus on real issue of happiness measurement, as precisely as it can be done, and its evolution, from measurement of unhappiness to the different significance and makeup of the term 'happy' for culturally distant societies. The article on the linguistic rights finally rises the issue of the inadequacy of demands in terms of rights to speak, write and receive education in a language between general population and intellectual professions in post-colonial Africa, Asia, and in places where the economic influence is generally biased towards exchange with western World, and towards English language as a global communication medium, displacing local mediums. This book fundamentally gives scientific bases for many long known facts and introduces and it may serve as a platform for societal and developmental evaluation after the common gross domestic product methods, Gini coefficient and others will be widely recognized to be imprecise.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-05-25 00:00:00 Ronald Ricci Yes! This may be the best work in Childhood Studies to date. Exploring childhood as a social construct rather than a 'natural' developmental process, Jenks challenges the reader on one traditional assumption after another and encourages us to reimagine childhood for it's actual social content and not just it's potentiality toward achieving adulthood. This book... even before Erickson and Piaget... should be required reading for anyone who works with children and youth or endeavors to understand the experiences of children.
