Book Description

The new edition of this text has been fully updated throughout and features expanded sections on issues such as global warming, biotechnology, and energy.

Global Issues is an introduction to the nature and background of some of the central issues - economic, social, political, environmental - of modern times. It will provide the basis for a stimulating course for beginning students in departments of geography, politics, sociology and environmental science. The book opens with an overview of the complex political, cultural and natural origins of world problems and of why some nations are rich and some are poor. The author then discusses in depth such issues as population growth, hunger, the extinction of species, global warming and climatic change, ozone depletion, energy conservation, deforestation, and the misuse of technology.

The book covers a range of perspectives on a diversity of societies, developed and developing. The author writes clearly, stressing the need, by argument and by exemplification, for informed, critical thinking. Students are shown both the decisions that have been made - and the resulting failures and successes - and the choices that must now be faced if crucial problems are to be solved.

The book is extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs, contains guides to further reading, media, and internet resources, and includes suggestions for discussion and studying the material.

哦我要力荐。 虽然到现在我连food都木有看完= =。 这学期的EW我估计我要挂了。 不过Seitz有些观点是不对的。!

怎么说呢,这本书写的还是很客观的,毕竟是痛击了当今全球的“软肋”。这本书的第二版的中译本已在台湾出版,本人已入手,录入工作正在进行,给校友们做点贡献,预计今年九月会完成第二、三、六章(EW重点章节)的录入工作,届时将进行发布!

这本真的是要力荐了。。不是说它有多好。。只是因为想起了大一学习的时光,每次通宵看书都是为了这本书。 不过对john seitz的观点,我还是在很大程度上持反对观点。总觉得他对中国有很大的歧视态度。。还有就是对中国的不了解。。
