"This core text is the first to provide a much-needed interdisciplinary approach to international studies. The authors include a geographer, a historian, and an anthropologist. Emphasizing the interconnected nature of these disciplines, the authors detail the methodologies and subject matter of each to provide a fuller understanding of the world.
