The recent UNICEF report on child poverty found that some 47 million children in ’rich’ countries live in families so poor that their health and well-being are at risk. In Britain, 20% of young people live below the poverty line, compared with just 5% in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Child poverty and the well-being of children is an important policy issue throughout the industrialised world. This volume brings together economists, sociologists and social policy analysts from America, Australia, and Europe, who have been studying the extent of child poverty, its consequenc

Koen De Feyter, who has chaired Amnesty International’s Working Group on economic, social and cultural rights, shows the many ways in which rampant market economics in today’s world leads to violations of human rights. He questions how far the present-day international human rights system really provides effective protection against the adverse effects of globalization. This accessible and thought-provoking book shows both human rights activists and participants in the anti-globalization movement that there is a large, but hitherto untapped, overlap in their agendas, and real poten

The literature on cytokine genetics is vast, so vast that it is now practically beyond the time or logistical constraints of most scientists to successfully keep pace with it. A compilation of the latest research, Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Multifactorial Conditions brings together, reviews, and structures up-to-date information on polymorphisms in cytokine genes. It discusses haplotype structures and linkage disequilibrium patterns in cytokine gene loci; functional biological effects of polymorphisms; and genetic associations with disease. The book documents polymorphisms in the most impo
