Understanding Politics: Ideas, Institutions, and Issues
"To me, this book stands out in its combination of the theoretical and the empirical. Some other introductory texts are more comparative, some more theoretical, but this one blends them well, and that is hard to do. My students like this book and find it interesting and accessible. So I suppose my answer here is that this book is the best in its little niche."Stephen Robertson, Middle Tennessee State University"I can honestly say that I haven't even considered another book. Understanding Politics provides exactly what I want and provides me with the appropriate supplements to make my course challenging, thought provoking, and relevant!"
