Reviews

Although this work has a global perspective, it is exceedingly well organized and pays meticulous attention to explaining concepts to reach a general audience. Visual learning is enhanced by self-explanatory graphs, tables, boxes, figures, and maps. Another exceptional feature is the book's comprehensive, in-depth explanations conveyed in an easy-to-read, interactive style. This volume is an essential reference for academic collections. Essential. -CHOICE

Barry Hughes's International Futures tool is probably the best around to create scenarios of where our world and its various multinational regions are likely to be headed over the next half century or more. -Frederick S.
