“This is a solid textbook for an intro course. . . . It follows different approaches in the discipline, going subfield by subfield from political theory to American politics, comparative, and IR. It has a strong introductory chapter that helps disentangle the relation between politics and political science.”
“[Political Science Today] provides a straightforward, conventional, mainstream introduction to the contemporary discipline of political science. It is informative if not inspirational for students.”
“A comprehensive yet easily understood textbook that brings together the study of government with an understanding of political science as a discipline.”
“It is accessible for students who have no background in the discipline, yet advanced enough that it does not overlook or ‘water down’ any pertinent information.”
