The first is to present Shrek as pedagogical tool that could be usefully employed in a number of different disciplines. Shrek is approached from a political science angle, a sociological perspective, and applied to the tenets of evolutionary psychology.

This book analyzes the green ogre and his companions in a way that is entertaining as well as informative"--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
