The Wit & Humor of Political Science (2010) |
 From the editors: This volume collects what in our opinions are the wittiest and funniest pieces about political science and political scientists. Like all good humor, much of the work we have chosen for inclusion has a serious point. It helps scholars keep an open and skeptical mind, it picks out our weak points in theory and methods, points out how research may be going wrong, and it pricks the balloon of bombast, pretentiousness, and jargon. And, not only that, it’s fun… Its contents make essential reading for all political scientists, even the most senior, but it may be enjoyed by younger scholars, especially those without tenure (or worse yet, without a job), by other social scientists, and even—gasp—by readers unaffiliated with any academic discipline. Price: $30.00
