This review is from: Comparative Politics Today: A World View (Paperback)
I bought this book for one of my first political science classes. Awesome book to references gives great detail about how the various governmental structures in the international realm function. Some minor details that change about seats, parties, constitutions correspond with the year but other than looking up those few details. Great book for any political science major to own.

AP Gov Students Thoughts,
By HS student (Anchorage, AK United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Comparative Politics Today: A World View, Update Edition (8th Edition) (Paperback)
I am an 11th grader using this book in my AP Government class, and I have not been thourougly impressed with this book. It is incredibly dense and hard to follow. (It usually takes me over two hours to do a Chapters worth of notes.) The vocabulary words are rarely defined and usually lack contextual clues as well.
If this book is to be used for a high school AP class, then it should come with more resources for either the teacher (so they have a thorough understanding of the book) or else for the students. From what I can tell, this book has a lot of useful information, and seems to be a decent resource if the students and teacher are willing to put the time into it. Unfortunately, with an AP test four months away, time is in short supply.
