Publisher's Notes
This book has been written primarily as a geography of Latin America and the Caribbean, but is also intended to serve as an interdisciplinary introduction to the region. The material is organized topically rather than regionally. One of the principal advantages of a thematic approach is its capacity to place current developments in their historical contexts, enabling the reader to know not only what things are like, but how they came to be that way. The focus of this volume is on comprehension of concepts, patterns, and issues rather than on memorization of facts and figures. The latter are provided, but they are intended primarily to illustrate the underlying conditions rather than to serve as the focus of the text. The text is designed for maximum flexibility. Written to be readable for beginning students, it is also generously documented with scholarly references for the research needs of advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The individual chapters can be used in all or in part and in any order. The volume is suitable to either single term or multiterm courses.

Spaces of Capital
by David Harvey
David Harvey is the most influential geographer of our era, possessing a reputation that extends across the social sciences and humanities. Spaces of Capital , a collection of seminal articles and new essays spanning three decades, demonstrates why his work has had-and continues to have-such a major impact. The book gathers together some of Harvey's best work on two of his central concerns: the relationship between geographical thought and political power as well as the capitalist production of space. In addition, he chips away at geography's pretenses of "scientific" neutrality and grounds spatial theory in social justice. Harvey also reflects on the work and careers of little-noticed or misrepresented figures in geography's intellectual history-Kant, Von Thünen, Humboldt, Lattimore, Hegel, Heidegger, Darwin, Malthus, Foucault and many others. Via this exploration of geography's intellectual lineage, he underscores its significance for all varieties of social thought. And, in two new

Cultures and Societies in a Changing World
by Wendy Griswold
From sectarians in Bombay to gang members flashing their signs in Chicago to nationalists in Northern Ireland, in today’s world, culture can inflame such intense passions that people are often willing to die for their symbols and beliefs. Culture is such an important and personal aspect of defining one’s self. It develops a person’s norms, values, beliefs, and practices—essentially, it influences who they are as an individual and how they are perceived by society. In the Second Edition of Culture and Societies in a Changing World , author Wendy Griswold offers a unique sociological perspective on the role culture plays in shaping our social world. By exposing readers to the effects of cultural misunderstandings, cultural conflicts, and cultural ignorance, this book enables students to develop a true appreciation of culture and society in a world that is changing at an accelerating pace. Features of this text: Examines a variety of common influences between cultures and societies using a "cultural diamond" design that considers the connections among the social world, cultural creators, cultural objects, and cultural audiences; Provides examples of cultural phenomena and processes from a variety of countries and periods; Allows for a greater understanding of cultural conflicts that have taken place in the post–Cold War era; Explores the effect of September 11, 2001, on cultures and societies around the globe. New to the Second Edition : Incorporates new coverage of the Internet and the increased role of the media; Greater emphasis on culture and identity, identity politics, and gender and includes more coverage of religion; Includes new "Questions for Study and Discussion" in each chapter. Cultures and Societies in a Changing World is an excellent text for students studying a broad range of sociology courses including cultural sociology, social problems, globalization, and social change and development.
