5 out of 5 stars Truly unbiased. Anyone calling this biased is clearly a liberal.   June 3, 2008

5 out of 15 found this review helpful

This book tells the truth and presents the facts and straight logic.

The liberals are the ones who call all truth and facts "biased," in order to advanced their liberal agenda. People on the left are always accusing the right of being biased, or something is biased toward them, etc. They do so because they tell a bunch of lies, and don't want people to discover them, so the liberals then twist the logic.

If you want a book on political science which just tells the truth and facts and straight logic, then this book is for you. However, if you fall into the liberal premises, then this book is definitely NOT for you.



4 out of 5 stars Good overall introduction book to political science   July 19, 2010

I really enjoyed reading this book where it appears to cover the many important subjects within political science. I give this book a 4 because the author focuses mainly on Western politics (primarily on the U.S.) where I would've enjoyed a greater coverage on more Eastern theorists. This is just my opinion of course where it certainly is a introduction book by not delving too specific into any one subject and instead covers a breadth of issues. Since I am new to this field, I found the further readings section at the end of the chapter helpful where I recently purchased a book on political theory because of it. Any one who is curious about the field should certainly start with a book like this.

P.S. The author's humor at times was a bit much but I suppose everyone has their own style of writing and communicating.
