Dear Colleagues - 

I have to submit the names of a general introductory sociology text within the 
next two days. 

Obviously I would like to recommend one that would enable me to provide a good 
global systemic perspective (ideally using WST and globalization theories) to 
cover the usual topics that one would expect in an introduction. 

Any suggestions? 

The only related textbook that I could think of was Robin Cohen published a 
general text which used globalization as point of departure.

I know there was a recent, related discussion on a world-systems theory text 
(which I seem unable to find in the WSN archives), but this is more limited in 
the sense that it should cover .

Thank you
