Reviews
Bill Coplin again shows how he remains one of the most brilliant, innovative educators in all of academia. Building on his earlier work, this is a practical primer on how to do public policy analysis - sophisticated enough for seasoned professionals to use yet accessible to high school and college students alike and, indeed, anyone wishing to improve their citizenship skills. From identifying policy problems to solving them, this manual is filled with insights on how politics works and how to become an effective political actor. -- J. Martin Rochester, University of Missouri-St. Louis This book demonstrates the power of practical instruction. -- Charles W. Kegley Jr., University of South Carolina I have talked with hundreds of alumni who value the transformational education Bill Coplin has provided them. This book has been key to that impact. It will have the same effect for anyone teaching or learning in courses where theory meets action. -- Kent D. Syverud, Chancellor and President, Syracuse University This book makes public policy come alive! for students. -- Patrick Gallagher, Nassau Community College
