"Lupia has spent his professional lifetime mastering the art,the science, in his hands, of education in the broadest sense. He has much to offer and does so supremely. Uninformed is not only an excellent guide to educating people about politics, but also an instruction manual in pedagogy more broadly." --John Aldrich, Pfizer-Pratt University Professor of Political Science, Duke University "Lupia presents solutions to improve the interaction and communication strategies of those who would seek to improve citizens' political knowledge..." --Science "Why don't more voters come forward to support-or reject-new laws and regulations that would directly affect them?
