" A truly extraordinary book The range of knowledge revealed by
the author is quite astonishing and the material presented is done
so in a clear and unambiguous writing style. The book includes
astonishingly varied perspectives on issues that will impact the
hoped-for positive consequences of globalization. I felt I was
being informed by an expert who grasps the complexity of the issues
involved in ways that make them clear and useful. If I was teaching
a course that had anything to do with globalization and/or culture,
I would assign this book and if I knew of someone who was being
assigned to another country, I would require him or her to read
this book. " Benjamin Schneider, " Valtera Corporation and
Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland"
