Summary: "What a difference an edition makes. We need look no farther than this text to get a sense of the pace and consequences of change. Compared to the promise of hope and change that accompanied Barack Obama's first election while we were finishing the ninth edition, finishing this tenth edition in 2013 brings daily reminders that things are moving far more quickly and unpredictably than we could ever have imagined. As a global society, we are still living with the enormous personal, social. and economic consequences of the financial turmoil brought on by the mortgage-lending crisis and the subsequent recession that enveloped the world's economies; still coping with the distressing aftermath of man-made and natural calamities such as the BP/Macondo/Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan; and still apprehensive about spreading strife and seemingly intractable unrest in the Middle East, the angry rhetoric from the Korea peninsula, and the ever present threat of terrorist attacks almost anywhere, any time." —Preface
