Excellent Reading for everyone
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is excellent reading for all Americans. It should be taught in our Junior High Schools around the country.
Not to worry---it's fine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Apparently, the Fox Noise machine has cranked out a lot of negative reviews on Burns here. But ignore all that. The book is fine and well-balanced. Burns has long been a first-rate historian and political scientist and there's no reason to doubt that now. The negative reviews are from the Karl Rove crowd.
Good condition and communication
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The sender of this book did a great job of making sure that I knew what I had bought and also how it would be sent. This user is a very good source and I would buy from him again. THe book itself is in good condition. It is similar to new, but not exactly. I have no complaints. There is not lots of scribling in the book or excessive highlighting. This is one book that exceeded my expectations in condition.
Great Intro to American Politics Textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Excellent intro to politics text. I highly recommend it for a classroom or for anyone really who wants to sit down with a plain-spoken piece to get you to understand our government. Whether it is for someone with little knowledge as to who this vast bureaucracy works, or for someone with a fairly good knowledge of it all - I don't think it will disappoint. I think what I appreciated the most was the honesty that the text was written. The authors also included a good amount of humor to emphasize the point (in cartoon, comic, Top 10 List, etc), in order to keep a reader interested. I think this text is also a good reference as well, as there are numerous court cases and explicit examples of gov't at work - that if you are ever at a loss for "what was it that happened?" or "what does that term mean?" Things are extremely easy to find and be referred to.Good works.
