The first social problems text to approach the subject from a global perspective, Global Social Problems helps students see the interconnected nature of the world's social problems: from pollution, to crime, to population, poverty, and racism. A number of pedagogical aids - including maps, study questions, key terms, and summaries - support the text's global approach, while special boxed features titled "Toward Global Solutions" provide students with an uplifting glimpse of how one nation or group has successfully addressed a pressing social problem.
