Recenzii

Flexible enough for instructors to creatively adapt to their teaching style and interests, and broad enough to engage students of all levels and backgrounds.
Brilliantly weaves together non-Western perspectives, offering an essential, balanced view of our interconnected world.
An inspiring publication for students and policymakers interested in global affairs. I will continue recommending this book to my students in the coming years.
An exceptional textbook for students of international and global studies. Accessible and engaging in presentation, it invites students to learn and explore key topics in global studies. The new chapter on food and agriculture as well as the increased attention to globalization, inequality, and development are timely and relevant.
This is the must-have handbook for any student beginning to explore global challenges and opportunities. McCormick strikes the perfect balance between rich, detailed discussion and attractive, accessible material suitable for first-year students.
