This textbook on international relations is written unlike any other that I have read during my college career. It allows the reader to cultivate the skill of taking ownership of their own learning by walking them through the steps of learner-centered teaching and learning.

I love this approach to learning. It keeps me so engaged and accountable for my own learning and its applications. It’s difficult for me to remain focused when a lot of details are involved but the book provides checklists that support me - I didn’t know how much I needed that as a philosophy major. Thank you for writing such an amazing book!
