Abstract
The journal Applied Research in Quality of Life (ARQOL) is resuming publication of a book review section that will be evenly divided between books that deal with the theory and methodology of quality of life and well-being research. Our aim is to publish two to three reviews in each issue of the journal. In general, the Book Review Editor and the Journal’s Editor-in-Chief will select books for review but they welcome suggestions from the readership concerning other books that should be considered for review. Participation of the Journal’s readership in the selection process is especially valued given the international and interdisciplinary composition of the Journal’s readership and the many fields of practice that it embraces. The Journal and, hence, the book reviews, will focus on research that have direct implications for or impact on practical applications of research on the quality of life. Areas to be included in the Book Review section include healthcare, travel and tourism, marketing, corporate management, community planning, social work, public administration, human resource management, and others that are of relevance or interest to the readership. The new section seeks to provide reviews of the leading texts in applied quality-of-life research. The editors invite academics, researchers, and practitioners to submit reviews and to propose relevant texts and other ground-breaking books for review. Persons undertaking reviews, though, need to be specialists in the area covered by the book and must be prepared to complete their reviews on a timely basis.
