Democracy Under Pressure [With CDROM]

the item was in great condition and the shiipppiinggg was SUPER fast. I loved that.

I am really happy with my book. I received it in few days. Very good condition. Thanks.

For a textbook, this has to be the best one around on the topic. I had to get it for intro to U.S. govt and found it to be astonishingly interesting for what it was. There's really not much more to say. It's relevant, uses numerous up-to-date examples (if you have the 2004 election update edition), AND is easy to read. There's not much more to be asked from a textbook on the generally boring subject of government. I couldn't imagine having a better book for a college course.

This book was much more economic online and worked great for my class.

I was surprised at how interesting this book made government. It's not boring like so many other college text books are. There are lots of examples that explain concepts in an interesting way, and there are little side stories about our country's history.Although this book is interesting the chapters are soooo long. I used this book for a 3 week summer government course and the long chapters nearly killed me. I found that I could skip the introduction to each chapter which saved me a whole page of reading. Also, I could sometimes read the first and last paragraph of a section and get the point of the section without having to read all the examples of an issue. The end of the chapter summaries are good, and very usefull to studying for exams.
