Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Introduction to Political Science
Teach students how -- not what -- to think about politicsRevel(TM) Introduction to Political Science: How to Think for Yourself about Politics helps students gain the skills they need to think critically about a wide range of political topics -- and to become more comfortable with politics itself as a result. In order to help introductory students navigate the shifting space of complex ideas that characterizes politics, author Craig Parsons offers a systematic presentation of a wide variety of political practices and ideologies, as well as the differing explanations for why people act as they do. The 2nd Edition has been updated to reflect issues that have dominated recent headlines, including the US government shutdown of early 2019, the evolving varieties of authoritarianism, and worldwide tensions over migration.

Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience -- for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.
