Reviews
This textbook is an informative and broad first foray into political science research methods that is appropriate for any early undergraduate student., This is a solid text that walks students through the entire process of empirical quantitative research methods in political science without being too math-heavy. Students will be able to read this book and come away with an increased understanding of how we use research methods in political science., I like the focus on empiricism and the attempt to illustrate numerous research puzzles throughout.
