Hadirnya buku ini membuka lembaran baru dalam memahami teori ilmu politik di Indonesia. Dalam praksis politik, tidaklah mudah menerapkan teori ilmu politik ini. Sebagian masih memandang politik sebagai seni ketimbang sebagai ilmu, sehingga pengalaman dan keberanian menjadi kunci ketimbang pengetahuan dan informasi. Seni dalam berpolitik pada dasarnya mengarahkan aktor-aktornya untuk menemukan kearifan. Sebagaimana halnya dengan para pendiri bangsa (the founding fathers and mothers), dunia politisi mampu menghadirkan para pahlawan nasional yang sekaligus negarawan.

Hyperpolitics is an appealing book in print format that is enhanced by an interactive Web version . Calise (Univ. of Naples Federico II) and Lowi (Cornell Univ.) define a hyperdictionary as a dictionary that uses a "method for unpacking a dense concept by separating out its components ... a method of concept analysis."

They say there was or there wasn't in olden times a story as old as life, as young as this moment, a story that is yours and is mine. Once in a Promised Land is the story of Jassim and Salwa, who left the deserts of their native Jordan for those of Arizona, each chasing mirages of opportunity and freedom. Although the couple live far from Ground Zero, they cannot escape the dust cloud of paranoia settling over the nation. A hydrologist, Jassim believes passionately in his mission to make water accessible to all people, but his work is threatened by an FBI witch hunt for domestic terrorists. A Palestinian now twice displaced, Salwa embraces the American dream. She grapples to put down roots in an unwelcoming climate, becoming pregnant against her husband's wishes. When Jassim kills a teenage boy in a terrible accident and Salwa becomes hopelessly entangled with a shadowy young American, their tenuous lives in exile and their fragile marriage begin to unravel. Once in a Promised Land is a dramatic and achingly honest look at what it means to straddle cultures, to be viewed with suspicion, and to struggle to find safe haven.
