The reflection from the light shone on the book and back on me from the shelf, as I felt another impulse purchase coming on. I reflected how I had only one political science course throughout college. Not unlike the puppy dog at the kennel that licks you through the cage, the book was saying, "Pick me." I did.
My twentieth edition, hard cover copy provides everything we should know about how our government works, and therefore would be an excellent source for 98% of our population. Besides providing a DVD for interactive simulation of government working, it contains a copy of the U.S. Constitution (my fourth), beautiful maps, and illustrations of various demographics, including the breakdown of electoral votes. The book also covers everything you might want to know about balancing the nation's checkbook, running for Congress, who's got the power?, lobbying in America, a political survey asking readers what they believe, and much, much more.
For those who never had the benefit of such a course, or wondered if they missed something about politics through an education of coincidental learning and hard knocks, this book would be a thorough and ideal learning tool.
It is a frequent source of reference. I'm even thinking of sending a copy to Sarah Winkums.

The book arrived early, not a scratch, no writing in it, was cheaper than my school's book store. I couldn't be happier.

I ordered this product on August 13th, and it is now September 17. It has not arrived yet. I needed that book for a class, and I will have to go out and buy a different copy just so I can do the reading. The service from this seller sucks!

This is a great book if you don't mind all the "Bush Bashing" and leftist views of the authors. It does not present both sides equally and is very misleading to the average reader. The bias is very evident if you are independent minded and research both sides of an issue. I was very disappointed that my professor chose this book for the class. I have reviewed other political science books that are not as biased and present both sides.
