In its rawest form, the science of political inquiry exists as the energy, product, and work of a community engaged in survey. To this end, Gregory M. Scott and Stephen M. Garrison offer a fourth installment of The Political Science Student Writer's Manual; an effort which is less a textbook and more a left-brain to the neophyte who dares tread the waters of political inquiry. Adding minor additions and revisions to their 2000 effort, Gregory M. Scott's and Stephen M. Garrison's exquisite balancing of the research and analytical technique equip even the most nascent scientists with the powers of organization necessary to draw pointed and meaningful measurements. Though its tight format is quick-moving at times, Scott and Garrison's work offers a genuinely demonstrative approach to successful writing techniques for students of political science. Addressing the growing need for students to be able to perform contemporary research, Scott and Garrison present information in an easy-to-read, how-to format which makes it a must-have for any political science student.The science of politics is one which is intrinsically connected to every facet of the human condition; consequently, a student of this science must possess the dexterity to competently explore and address issues contained within the broader spectrum of life. Recognizing that this is not an easy task, Scott and Garrison break their book into six palatable parts, each addressing their own separate focuses. Part one, divided into four chapters, concentrates on writing, format, and citation. Part two, which was absent in their previous editions, consists of two chapters related specifically to distance learners and the use and inclusion of internet resources.
