Good starting point
| Customer Rating:  | This book is perfect for a primer in American Politics, especially current topics or controversial topics. The book does a good job of presenting the pro and con of the issues and is a good source for an undergraduate course.
I would like to see the next edition include some of the less "hot" topics. That simple comment aside, I do appreciate how the book offers both ends of the political continuum w/ each issue. |
Good for an Intro to Govt course
| Customer Rating: | | Anyone starting out in undergrad Political science should read this textbook, articles deal with current issues and can provide for lively discussion. |
You Gotta Have an Opinion--and Then There's the Other Guy
| Customer Rating: | This is an excellent series. The arguments and counter-arguments have been put together very well. Sure, I disagree with at least 50%, but the fun is in seeing each side make a valid point (and get demolished by the other side!). The editors, Feingold & McKenna, have consistently done a good job with this series. Worth buying just for fun, and invaluable if you are a student (enrolled or otherwise) of Political Science!

Taking Sides: I'll Take the Whole Book!
| Customer Rating: | | This series of books is a must for anyone interested in modern political thought. It is as interesting as "Crossfire" with more substance and depth. The editors' political experience shows in the selection of authors and pieces chosen. Though I'm sure the editors have their own opinions, both sides of each issue are well represented. They have carefully culled differing points of view from intelligent people who make their arguments persuasively. Highly recommended. |
