They all came by total surprise, which means that they are beyond our normal sociological categories and global in their scope and implications. That's the reason why, more than ever, students and professors of sociology need the information in and inspiration gained from Cohen and Kennedy's Global Sociology.' - Ulrich Beck, University of Munich 'From 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 'This remarkably comprehensive textbook makes a convincing case for the study of sociology from a global perspective. Showing that globalization is indeed a powerful force in the contemporary world, the authors incorporate concrete global issues in their accessible presentation of changing social relations.' - Manfred B. Steger, RMIT University (Melbourne) and University of Hawai'i-Manoa 'What particularly impressed me were the deep connections the authors have made between 'everyday' sociology and global sociology: the discipline has needed this for a while.' - Shawn McEntee, Salisbury University, UK 'Having taught global sociology for many years now, I was impressed and invigorated by their approach.' - Daniel Levy, SUNY, USA 'Given the speed of change in the contemporary world, the engagement with current and recent events is admirable.' - Mike Whittingham, Kingston University, UK 'This book is a significant achievement. There is a strong social conscience in this text, and attention paid to the impacts of globalisation on people who are vulnerable and the environment.' - Anne Scott, University of Canterbury, New Zealand
