Poli Sci Faculty Reading List

A student asked for reading recommendations that were still about political sciencey things, but not the kinds of books we'd assign to our classes. So I'll kick off this with a brief list of the new titles I've loved lately. Everyone (faculty and students and alumni alike) should jump in to recommend things old and new!

• Why We Are Polarized by Ezra Klein (self explanatory, but holy moly --this is terrific).
• Prius or Pickup by Marc Hetherington (an easy way of looking at how we separate ourselves)
• An Audience of One by James Poniewozak (about Donald Trump's history & fixation on media)
• The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis (the importance of having a federal government that functions. Ahem)
• The Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols (also self explanatory and highly relevant)
• The Age of American Unreason by Susan Jacoby (from 2008, this predicted ALOT). 

So those are a few of my faves. Comment below with your recommendations!
