Excellence in Educational Literature

Dan Caldwell is innovative in his approach to make the learning experience practical, informative, and interesting. Perhaps the greatest asset to World Politics and You are the critexes (Critical Thinking Exercises) at the beginning of each chapter. Each critex helps wet the palate for the reading that follows. These exercises challenge the reader to move outside of their comfort zone and contemplate issues relative to the reading. While starting each chapter in critical thought, I found the reading to be much more applicable and thought-provoking. It is truly a revolutionary way of challenging learners to be thinkers, rather than simply fact-gatherers. Way to go, Dr Caldwell!

A new book for the new year

Caldwell makes learning facts about international politics interesting enough not to fall asleep while reading it. Unlike other books that are used for college courses this one flows. It makes the reading more enjoyable.
