素晴らしい本です。
politicsの入門本、様々な事柄について説明されています。
非常に専門的でない限り、載っていない事項はないくらいです。
大学の初めてのpoliticsのクラスの予習のために
薦められて買いましたが、多分４年間お世話になります。笑
最近ボロボロになってきましたが日々愛用しています。

最近ボロボロになってきましたが日々愛用しています。
だらだら、書いてある他の硬い専門書と違い、
なんとなく、日本の高校までの教科書のようなデザイン、
まとめ方にになっているので親しみを覚えます。
デラックス版検定教科書って感じでしょうか。
海外の大学、国内でも国際系学部、国際系、及び洋書をテキストに
使う政治学クラスで紹介されるであろう殆どの人、それぞれ言葉、
システムなどの定義などなど全般を基本的なところから説明されています。
今までの復習にも使えるし、
これから勉強するに当たっての予習、
解らない事項を調べるときにも、これ以上に役に立つ本はないです。
本当に、これから初めて英語で政治を勉強する人にも役に立つし、
助けてくれる、まさにタウンページ的テキストです！
しかも、この本、もっと深く学びたい場合にはそれぞれ、
読むべきお勧め、もっと専門的テキストまで紹介してくれます。
大学の授業向けというよりお子さま向けな感じもしますが、
そこはpalgrave出版しっかりしてます。heywoodさんの知識と共に、
政治学タウンページを探している方にも、
ハイクオリティーアカデミックな本を探している方にも、笑
手取り足取り助けてくれる、勉強の友になること間違いなしです！

Good Primer with a Few Issues
2011/11/7
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
I read this book as part of a college course on politics. I was taking the course at age 42, so I'm not the typical student for this material. I had already voted in many elections, worked with my rep to get a bill created, and participated in other government related activities. So I was already familiar with much of what was said.
The book does a reasonably good job of going over what can be fairly dense and complex material. It covers all the bases from types of government to types of constitutions, how voting happens, how assemblies handle delegation, and more. It talks about how studying politics can be challenging because there's no safe way to "experiment" to see what happens. Governments have actual effects over the lives of millions of people.
I have a few issues with the book. First, it makes it seem as if studying politics is wildly different from studying any other thing on the planet Earth. Maybe every book tries to do this, to seem like "studying biology is great!" and "studying English classic literature is great!" Still, I find it a bit silly. Yes, politics is unique just like every other field is unique. It poses its own challenges just like every field has challenges.
This edition was apparently published in 2007 and it is WOEFULLY out of date when it talks about some middle east issues. I realize that things change fairly quickly in some parts of the world, but when the book is talking about politics it needs to be kept up to date. There really should be a fresh edition of this, or if they don't intend to update it regularly it shouldn't try to talk about specific situations that could change.
Also, I have a pet peeve with expensive college textbooks having typos in them. We're paying the oodles of money for something that has been thoroughly proofread. I'm fine with typos in the solo author Kindle books that I review. I realize they don't have editorial support to do that type of polishing. This book should definitely have the editorial support to fix typos.
Still, a generally good overview of a topic that can be complex.

This review is based on the book, and I believe you will find it helpful.
I'm not a Political Science student, I study Computer Science but Politics has been one of my top interests for many years now. I have heard about the book from a friend and thought of adding it to my library, thus I bought it.
The book starts out with what is Politics and what it's not! Handing out many precious definitions and principles in a knowledgable yet simplified language... After that, the author takes it one level and explores (with a Lateral Reasoning appraoch) the side-walks of Politics, it's branches, and how one might appraoch it: Which is either (basically) through Philosophical Reasoning or Scientifical (Theoritical) Understanding and Research.
The book follows up and teaches you how the already explained principles form what are known as Political Ideologies... It appraoches it's end while debating the applications and roles of Politics and how it affects the everyday living of every individual.
Well, honestly, the book gives more than that, but I think that's what you need to know in order to get motivated about how well this book will serve you as an introduction and/or a rivision of Politics as it has served me, frankly speaking.
Thank you.

Politics: a quality overview
2009/11/5
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Politics by Andrew Heywood is the first choice for people who want to understand the world of politics. Students of sociology, journalism, public administration and politics will find this book very useful reading to their studies. For students who have a political module in their programs this title will be included in primary readings. For me, as a 1st year student of politics and international relations, it provided so much needed frame to see the puzzle of politics in broader concept. It is definitely a book that falls to category 'value for money'.
