Gloabl Issues: An Introduction
I used this book as text for high school “Global Studies” courses, and thought it was terrific in its understandable but not watered down treatment of the big issues — war, hunger, women’s rights, population, environment, etc. Shows how these issues relate to each other. It was a stretch for 9th graders, but would be perfect for high school seniors or college intro.
