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. Van Belle delivers the core concepts and real-world political examples you'd expect from an introductory book, just in a way that students will actually have fun reading and will retain after the exam.
