In a few short centuries, primitive pasture games relying on balls of rocks, rags, feathers or hair transformed into global events with intricate rules, with television and the internet tracking cricket matches in Australia to soccer in Zaire.

Since the massive protests that disrupted the World Trade Organization's meeting in Seattle in 1999, not a single international gathering on trade issues has convened without being dogged by protesters condemning globalization. Everyday newspapers report how globalization is changing people's lives. But what is this all-powerful globalization? The dictionary defines it as 'an act of making things global in scope and action'. But who are the actors? Who exactly is 'making things global in scope'? Scholars have debated endlessly about the phenomenon that has emerged as one of the most contested in our epoch. Finally there is a book - Global Inc - that takes us under the skin of the global economy, offering an X-Ray-like image of the sinews and arteries of multinational corporations. This is not to say multinational corporations are the principal force behind globalization, but the extent of their reach and power certainly makes them one of the most important actors.

True innovation is a rare bird, so rare that during any century only a handful of people come up with processes or devices that revolutionize the way people go about their daily lives. And then that invention - electricity or car, telephone or internet - becomes so useful, so logical, that it quickly loses the sense of magic.
Book Excerpt

In the late 1970s, China was a very poor country. The rising population, which reached 962 million in 1978, put a severe strain on food supplies. Average calorie intake was only marginally above the minimum survival requirements, particularly in rural areas. Some 250 million people lived in absolute poverty. Transport and infrastructure were primitive. Steel production was still low.

Over the past decade, I have traveled with Glenn to some of the world's biodiversity hot spots and other endangered regions where CI is working - from the Pantanal wetlands in southwestern Brazil to the Atlantic rain forest on Brazil's coast, from the Guyana Shield forest wilderness in southern Venezuela to the Rio Tambopata macaw research station in the heart of the Peruvian jungle, from the exotic-sounding highland of Shangri-La in Chinese-controlled Tibet to the tropical forests of Sumatra and the coral-ringed islands off Bali, in Indonesia. For me, these trips have been master classes in biodiversity, as were my own travels to the Masai Mara in Kenya and the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and the vast Empty Quarter of the Saudi Arabian Desert and - before I had kids - a rappelling trip inside die salt domes of the Dead Sea.
