Political Facts and Perceptions [PDF ebook] 

The book embraces all aspects and sub-topics of the discipline of political science, not merely making surveys of them. It extracts the fundamentals from each without engaging students in a study of complicated high-level research endeavors. It engages them, however, in basic behavioral approaches of thought, without which in their later studies – asking to discover, operationalize and compute raw data – would encounter various hardships. The book is a complete product, which passes progressively – in a proven pedagogical manner – from normative to behavioral propositions. Its goal is to make students think behaviorally, in terms of precision and attempted political predictions.
