Great Introduction to the Subject!

After reading this book in its entirety, it is obvious that it was written in a way to make political science interesting to someone familiarizing themself with the subject. Being a current grad student, I have read many books that beg to be used as a paperweight. They are either way off topic and monotonous, or so incomplete that one feels empty after going to the effort to read them. This book gives the reader neither of those feelings. The author knew who his audience would be and wrote for them. Its content is rich in history, theory, and practicality. I highly recommend this book to anyone who either wants to reacquaint themselves with government and its purpose or to those who are deciding if they want to learn more about their societal/governmental systems.
