Global Issues: Selections from CQ Researcher, 2010 Edition
As an English professor, I adoptedGlobal Issuesfor my Honors writing class on the recommendation of a colleague in International Relations. It gave my first-year students plenty to think about balanced analyses of important concerns, as well as a level of complexity that woke them up to college-level expectations. I used the book again the following year, again with satisfaction; and I look forward to using an e-book of selected chapters this fall in my Honors capstone course, Problems in the Modern World, to provoke more sophisticated discussions and original research. --Jay Paul, Christopher Newport UniversityGlobal Issuesis a tremendous asset to any course on government and world affairs. Complex issues are presented in such a manner that students are eager and able to absorb the information effectively. Students become truly engaged in current issues and appreciate the analysis of these issues from multiple angles. This book is a must-have for any course with a focus on world affairs. --Mary Anderson, University of Tampa
