- Double-weighted statement
- This is a deeply considered book that reports on a substantial volume of scholarship and research into the sociology of human suffering. It merits double-weighting because of the range of material covered, the extent of the analysis contained in bringing together material from across the various traditions of sociology and the engagement with this background required to produce the thoughtful essays which constitute the book. It has been endorsed by scholars of the calibre of Amartya Sen, Paul Farmer and Ken Plummer and positively reviewed in many journals which indicates recognition of the quantity and quality of work involved.
