Introduction to Political Science
Exploring Politics: A Concise Introduction addresses the challenges of teaching and learning introductory concepts in political science. Gaspare M. Genna and Taeko Hiroi’s concise, accessible writing style brings a no-frills approach to the curriculum, allowing instructors to pepper in activities, current events, and lectures while leaning on the text for foundational material required in the course. The book is organized topically to reflect how politics spreads from the individual and group level, to the national, and eventually, the international level.

“With Vantage, I set up my course in under 10 minutes, which is unheard of...And it benefitted students, they did all the right things in all the right places. I love Vantage!”
“I think that Vantage [is] an ideal system that will promote engagement of students.”
“What I most like about Vantage is that my students are coming into class prepared… Student performance after implementing Vantage is incredible. It used to be out of 40 or 50 students, I had 4 or 5 A’s… and now instead of having that bulk of grades in the C’s, they’re in the A’s. We know that reading increases performance, but this is a really tangible way to see that.”
“I am really excited to have tools that help motivate students to actually do the reading…”
“...Really going to deepen students’ understanding and...boost their comprehension.”
“I have used every other major digital platform that exists, and I can say that Vantage has no equal.”
“My learners really enjoyed the SAGE Vantage experience. Many of them said it forced them to read, which aided in their comprehension…The feedback I received is that they all really enjoyed the interactive nature of the program, as well as the [number] of activities…”
“…[It’s] easy to read, it’s just straightforward.”
