  • "With this new edition, Van Belle brings the book fully up-to-date with coverage of the Obama administration and other changes in administrations and regimes worldwide; current policy debates about issues like reproductive rights, whether corporations are people, and the important effects of partisanship; international happenings such as the Arab Spring and the Euro crisis, and other assorted intergalactic matters. Van Belle adds discussions of a wealth of new and recent movies and books to the text, as he illustrates key concepts in political science through examples that will captivate students. Employing a wide range of references from 1984 to Game of Thrones to The Avengers, students are given a very solid grounding in institutions, ideology, and economics."
  • ""Students often complain that textbooks are boring, especially the door-stoppers in use for most survey courses. But they've never had a textbook like this. Just ask adopters of the first edition who are thanking Novel Approach for some of their best student evaluations to date. Van Belle and Mash deliver the core concepts and real-world political examples you expect from an introductory book, just in a way that your students will actually have fun reading and will retain after the exam. With enlightening, yet entertaining, references ranging from 1984 to The Dark Knight, students take away more from discussions of institutions, ideology, and economics because concepts are introduced using popular culture. Revisions to the second edition, in addition to a wealth of new and recent movies and books, include new features on major political theorists and expanded stand-alone institutional chapters on the legislature and the executive."--Publisher description."
  • ""Textbooks seldom inspire accolades, particularly the dry behemoths often used in survey courses. A Novel Approach to Politics turns the conventional textbook wisdom on its head. This is a textbook your students will want to read! Adopters of previous editions from schools all over the country are thanking Novel Approach for some of their best student evaluations to date."
