We believe ...
Empty space, drag to resize
all college students should have access to very low-cost and very high-quality learning resources
students thrive when textbooks are digital and multimedia with interactive features that promote an engaged and active approach to learning

in an era of social and political dynamism, content in political science courses should be updated frequently to keep up with the change
political science courses should allow students to not only gain political knowledge, but also to develop information literacy, critical thinking, and civic skills
"value is created when creators are valued" - thus, while students should pay very little for educational resources, nearly all of what they do pay should go to dedicated authors, editors, expert consultants, video producers, and others who enhance the quality of those resources

Here is what students are saying about our textbook chapters

I have taken a lot of U.S. history and government classes in my life, and most repeat the same information. This course actually presented new information in an easily digestible format. I really appreciate how straightforward the textbook and other course material was. Thank you!
