Description
For courses in Introduction to Political Science
Grasp the ever-changing nature of politics around the world
RevelTM Understanding the Political World gives students deeper insight into the continually evolving nature of international politics. Exploring the subject matter from a comprehensive and comparative standpoint, authors James Danziger and Lindsey Lupo use real examples from different international political systems to demonstrate how politics are understood throughout the world. By prompting students to explain what they know, the authors bring abstract political concepts into focus by connecting them to students' lives. In order to provide a contemporary view of global politics, the 13th Edition has been updated with the latest data and information, as well as a reformulated final chapter that analyzes partially developed countries such as Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.
Revel is Pearson's newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience - for less than the cost of a traditional textbook. NOTE: Revel is a fully digital delivery of Pearson content. This ISBN is for the standalone Revel access card. In addition to this access card, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
