The new edition retains its focus on the enduring questions with which scholars grapple, the issues about which consensus has started to emerge, and the tools comparativists use to get at the complex problems in the field. The book′s outstanding pedagogy includes chapter opener overviews, bolded key terms and a marginal glossary, more than 250 tables and figures, numerous photos and maps, end of chapter problem sets, and new works cited and country-specific bibliographies.
Every chapter I goes like this: "What I am so confused I dont have any clue whats going on." Then, rereading and looking from another perspective its "ok I understand 50%." And then put some critical thinking into it, it's "I now have a good understanding." Its a book with a strong learning curve but I learned a lot and it made me interested when I didn't expect I would.
