Review:

“Roskin stands out from other texts due to its focus on both content and methodological issues. A comprehensive and well-written introduction to the discipline of political science, Roskin gets students to not only consider what political scientists know but also how they know it.”–Anika Leithner, California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo
