"This new edition is an outstanding update of what I believe to be
the best textbook for introducing undergraduates to global
sociology. With a rich array of new examples, clear definitions of
concepts and crisp theoretical summaries, it offers students a
vision for participating as engaged citizens in a diverse,
interdependent and sustainable world."- Paul Lubeck, University of
California, Santa Cruz "Just think for a moment of the 'global
events' that are changing the world: 9/11, the financial crisis,
climate change, Fukushima, the Arab Spring. They all came by total
surprise, which means they are beyond our normal sociological
categories and global in their scope and implications. That's the
reason why students and professors of sociology more than ever need
the information in and inspiration from Global Sociology." -Ulrich
Beck, University of Munich The first, pioneering editions of Global
Sociology put global issues at the heart of sociological
discussion. Much has changed in the world since then; recessions,
revolutions, social media, and new migration networks have
developed as causes and symptoms of an increasingly global society.
This new edition is fully updated to explore just how these global
issues can help us to understand sociology in our world today.
Making clear connections between everyday experiences and global
processes at each step, the third edition carefully guides readers
through essential and cutting-edge topics in the discipline, from
family and feminism to environment and economy. Features such as
biography boxes on key thinkers in the field, a thorough glossary,
and review questions introduce and reinforce the book's core ideas.
With clear writing and infectious enthusiasm for its topic, Global
Sociology remains the authority on global issues in sociology for
students at a variety of skill levels.
