Review
"King, Schlozman, and Nie have created a visionary and stimulating volume. The organization of the essays strikes me as nothing less than brilliant: The book enacts the process that it seeks to engender, generating a spirit of serendipitous discovery and insight in the very process of reading a book devoted to encouraging new directions in research, scholarly exploration, and discovery. It is a volume that will be greatly welcomed in the discipline and could become a classic, creating a new genre and also providing students as well as scholars with a ready source of intellectual stimulation and research strategies. It is truly a joy to read." --Lawrence C. Dodd, Manning J. Dauer Eminent Scholar in Political Science, University of Florida "The list of authors in The Future of Political Science is a "who's who" of political science. As I was reading it, I came to think of it as a platter of tasty hors d'oeuvres. It hooked me thoroughly." --Peter Kingstone, University of Connecticut "This is a very high quality project, well-written and accessible. The book is truly unique and really has no competitor in the field. The Future of Political Science will clearly appeal to scholars and graduate students across all subfields within the discipline. It is a wonderful contribution." --Brian Schaffner, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
