Excellent,
By An Amazonian (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Oxford Companion to Politics of the World (Oxford Companions Ncs) (Hardcover)
What I appreciate most about this book is how well it balances rigor with comprehensibility. I have always taken an amateur interest in politics, but I have taken only one-and-a-half political science classes. But I can nonetheless understand most everything I've read in this very comprehensive book.There are several different kinds of articles. There are entries on individual countries ("Japan," "Brazil," "the USA," etc.). There are articles on prominent individuals ("Kofi Annan," "Ghandi," "Hitler"). There are articles on political philosophies or movements ("anarchism," "liberalism," "fascism"). And there are articles on issues ("famine," "land reform," "affirmative action"). It's a really valuable work as background to almost any political interest. In general, anything published by either Oxford or Cambridge (the UK's two leading universities) is often superb. |
