International Studies Intensives (ISI) is a book series that springs from the desire to keep students engaged in the world around them. ISI books are meant to offer an intensive introduction to subjects often left out of the curriculum.
Our authors are from a range of disciplines and employ many different methodological approaches to teaching about international issues. Yet each and every ISI book packs a wealth of information into a small space, and does so in ways that students find compelling and instructors find useful. ISI books are relatively short, visually attractive, and affordably priced.
Examination/inspection copies for course adoption may be requested from the Webpage of any book in the series.
Book proposal guidelines for the series can be found here.
Book proposals for the series should be directed to the co-editors: [email protected] and [email protected].
