Challenge Of Politics, 4th Edition
Available To Downloads

Riemer, Simon, and Romance aim to harmonize the valuable lessons of classic and contemporary theory, as well as to reconcile politics to scientific and empirical study. The book gives students an avenue to explore the impact of philosophy and ideology, to recognize major forms of government, to evaluate empirical findings, and to understand how policy issues directly affect peopleEs lives. Throughout, the authors look at political dynamics of American, comparative, and international affairs. While continuing to pursue its distinctive normative approach and showing politics to be a potentially humanizing enterprise, this new edition of Challenge has been revised and updated for major world events like the global financial crisis, recent elections in the U.S. and elsewhere, important policy decisions like the recent Supreme Court ruling in the U.S. on healthcare, and the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Based on reviewer feedback, it has also been substantially streamlined throughout.

I purchased this as an e-book. The only thing that bothers me is that page numbers are not offered, only location numbers. In a class that requires quotes, it's a major inconvenience to have to ask other students what the page number is.

This book came fast and just in time for my class.It's an easy read.I had taken a politics class before with a different book (Understanding the Political World: A Comparative Introduction to Political Science (11th Edition)), and this book seemed easier for me to follow.

Ordered for Intro to Political Science class. Written very well, concepts were clear. Easy to cite.

Not a bad textbook. I bought the Kindle version and ike the citation function

great quality and easy return! This was a rental and recommend
