CoverThe photograph on the front cover of Exploring Globalization shows agroup of people silhouetted against a stylized globe. Around the globe arebright, orbit lines but no space ship. This image symbolizes the conceptsbehind this textbook and course: people, global connections, and globalcommunication and transportation. Look carefully at the globe. Why doyou suppose the artist showed Europe and Asia rather than North andSouth America?
