title: Global Sociology, Third Edition
author:  Robin Cohen 
description: "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. Thats the reason why students and professors of sociology more than ever need the information in and inspiration from <em>Global Sociology</em>."-Ulrich Beck,University of Munich<br /><br />"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
