A course in the methods of political science can help students understand the content of courses that focus on government, issues, and politics, says Mycoff (U. of Delaware). He offers a textbook and workbook for such a course, emphasizing how to distinguish between normative positions and factual claims. Generally the exercises entail reading an outside text then writing a response to it or using it to answer a question or explore an issue. The topics include the empirical approach to political science, research design: making causal inferences, sampling, survey research and interviewing, and investigating relationships between two variables. Drilled for a three-ring binder. There is no index. CQ Press is an imprint of Sage Publications. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
