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, Germany *\u003cbr\u003eFrom the slums of Brazil to the internet cafes of Iran, this book guides the reader through the complex, turbulent but endlessly fascinating terrain of a globalizing world. Elegantly written, rich in examples, very up to date and astonishingly comprehensive, it is the best possible introduction to the social scientific study of globalization. * David Inglis, University of Aberdeen, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis remarkably comprehensive textbook makes a convincing case for the study of sociology from a global perspective.
