With every new edition and especially with this 5th edition, Global Issues improves as a fundamental resource for students of global development, economics, politics, environmental science, and geography. The language is clear and straightforward. The authors address the key issues in a comprehensive and balanced manner. The text is organized as it should be, addressing in turn the interlinked challenges of population, wealth and poverty, food, energy, climate change, the environment, technology, and alternative futures, and grounding them with up-to-date data. The text provides students with the solid background they need to explore global issues in all their daunting complexity. Scott Anderson, State University of New York at Cortland As a global citizen and educator, I welcome the new edition of Global Issues. This book by Kristen Hite and John Seitz is a wonderful interdisciplinary and comprehensive overview for all of us who work on issues which span national borders - population, poverty, energy, food, and climate change.
