Global Sociology, Third Edition

Bag om Global Sociology, Third Edition

"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.

Beskrivelse af Global Sociology, Third Edition

"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.
