Easy to understand

This book is fantastic. When most text books are complex, this puts it in easy words so you can understand it. However it is also good because it isn't to simple so that way the language used can be used in an essay and still look good. This perfectly explains how government, parties, voting patterns and more and how each works in various countries.


Excellent book examining politics comparitively

This book is glossy and clean on the outside and doesn't disappoint on the inside.
It is clear and well organised as well as being very good value for money (anyone doing an undergraduate course in politics knows how many dreary overpriced books there are out there!).
The chapters are well set out so that you can read the sections separately or else build up your understanding by reading the whole thing- it is by no means boring. The comparitive approach, constantly comparing and contrasting different countries and their historical and social situations, is enlightening.
If you are new to the subject then the boxes explaining different political terms and concepts are very welcome. They tackle even the most difficult to define words and show you what different thinkers have to say about them.
Overall this book is highly recommended as an introduction to the subject, a fine textbook from which the primary sources and other books can be found so encouraging you to use other texts and widen your knowledge.
