best book i know of so far on globalization is manuel castell's "rise of the network society"--it is huge (3 vol.) but really fine stuff almost throughout.
worth it though.
besides, you might be able to read it laying about on a chaise lounge if you ignore the footnotes. or if you were wearing a huge hat. or if you are sitting under an umbrella, just before the nice man brings you your mai tai.
