Why Politics Matters: An Introduction to Political Science (with CourseReader 0-60: Introduction to Political Science Printed Access Card) (New 1st Editions in Political Science)
"The authors do a good job in making a host of complex topics user friendly for college students." "The first thing I enjoyed was the enthusiasm and passion the authors have towards their subject matter. As a passionate and enthusiastic person toward the discipline, I found their attempt to excite student interest a good thing.""What really makes this book unique is that it centers around the most critical sub-fields of Political Science. The order of the chapters is compatible with the presentation of my lecture topics in my own Intro to Poli Sci class. The writing style and overall quality of work invested... is commendable. The authors are clear, succinct, and consistent in their presentation.""The practical approach directly answers student concerns about relevance and clearly explains why politics (and theory) matters, and should matter, to everyone. The synthesis of theory and practice is directly applicable to younger citizens while still giving students a firm grasp of all aspects of politics.""[The authors] should be proud and I look forward to seeing the eventual product. Their approach is unique and appreciated; the integration of theory and practice is most welcomed.... Breadth and depth are such that they greatly interest me for use in an introductory course geared towards likely majors and minors.""This online reader is an excellent idea, it allows the professor to individually design the class around he/she considers most critical to the study. I would use these readings for class, this option would be a strong selling point for me."
