Presenting a full range of domestic and international issues plus detailed scenarios that make students think critically, he balances the academic approach to political science with the practical need to be fluent in real world politics.”–Krista Wiegand, Georgia Southern University

Very Iformative + Easily Understood,
By "xchung" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding the Political World: A Comparative Introduction to Political Science (5th Edition) (Paperback)
In his book, Danziger does an excellent job in portraying the political world. One might argue that this is essentially what any other book on political science would do, and this true. However, Danziger manages to apply his own personal style to the work. His explanations are clear, and to the point. One of the major features of the book are the "boxes" that appear every so often. These usually contain real life issues, or historical events that demonstrate what is trying to be taught. All in all, James N. Danziger's book is an informative, and well text on the political science.

"Understanding the Political World" is a great reference for those who are new to the political genre. It does well to highlight the major characteristics of political structures and its relation/attachment to economy types.
