Global Inc., a 163 page historical atlas of the Multinational Corporation, has been published by New Press. Copies can be ordered from the Press at $24.95. This atlas is one result of the Conference on Mapping the MNCs, part of the overall NGH initiative. New Press informs us that Global Inc. has just gone into its second printing.

Another outcome is a volume of selected essays from the Conference, entitled Leviathans: Multinational Corporations and the New Global History, ed. Alfred Chandler and Bruce Mazlish. It has been published by Cambridge University Press.

Palgrave Advances in World History, ed. by Marnie Hughes-Warrington has just been published; its 12 chapters should be of much interest to those concerned with the spectrum running from world history to global and new global history.

In Current Sociology, Vol 53 No 1 (January 2005), 93-111, Professor Bruce Mazlish has an article, "The Global and the Local," which then gave rise to a further dialogue on the subject. The counterpart of Current Sociology in Russia has asked whether it could republish the article in a Russian translation, thus indicating once again the global interest in globalization.

The Global History Reader, ed. by Akira Iriye and Bruce Mazlish, was published at the beginning of 2005 by Routledge.

Publications from the conference on Globalization and Childhood held at George Mason University, 19 to 21 March 2004:

• Preface and Conclusion, by Peter N. Stearns
• The Schoolyard Gate: Schooling and Childhood in Global Perspective, by Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt

The papers were published in the Journal of Social History.

As part of its work, the NGH initiative is setting up a New Global History Press, which is republishing volumes in the Global History Series (previously published by Westview Press) as well as additional titles. Three republished are now available:
