This book is a major new introduction to international relations/global politics. Written by a leading textbook author, it is engaging, stimulating and forward-looking, covering all the topics and theory students require at an introductory level.
The second edition of a ground-breaking text, Global Sociology, 2nd edition will be compulsory for introductory sociology courses which take a truly global perspective. Building on the success of the ambitious first edition, the book retains and defends its innovative focus and approach. Extensively updated in the light of the most recent debates about globalization, particularly in the post 9/11 climate, this new edition also includes three wholly new chapters on lifestyle and leisure, global religions, and health, and substantial further pedagogical features. Changes, both in the public and academic sphere, make this new edition highly important to the teaching of sociology today.
Graffiti Woman celebrates the rise of female graffiti and street artists, showcasing the work of over 125 women, from those at the top of the game, such as New York’s Lady Pink and Amsterdam’s Mickey, to a galaxy of rising stars. Accompanied by lively quotes from the artists themselves, and introduced by renowned American artist Swoon and author Nancy Macdonald, this book is a must-have for anyone who has ever felt drawn to the galleries of the street.

Compiled by a pioneer in Art Nouveau design, these 72 plates of lush floral images are lovingly reproduced from a hard-to-find edition of a Belle Epoque classic. Full-page images, borders, and insets include illustrations — both real and fanciful — by M. P. Verneuil and other masters of the genre.

This handsomely designed Tiny Folio packs over 200 full-color illustrations, faithfully capturing the subtle nuances of light and...
