- Debates the historical evolution of globalized society

- Analyses the interconnected economic, political and cultural geographies of globalization

- Examines the impact of global transformations 'on the ground' using examples from six continents

- Discusses the three global crises currently facing the world - inequality, the environment and unstable capitalism most recently manifested in the Great Recession

- Articulates a human geographical framework for progressive globalization and approaching solutions to the problems we face

Boxed sections highlight key concepts and innovative work by geographers as well as topical and lively debates concerning current global trends. The book is also generously illustrated with a wide range of Figures, photographs, and maps.
