 Vigilance, Readers! |
| Review Date: December 8, 2002 |
| Reviewer: V. Alexander, TX United States |
In fairness, I have not yet finished the book. Yet I am already disappointed that so little was included about the European ideological and theological heritage that went into the Articles and the Constitution. Also, very little was said about the motivations and concerns of the Anti-Federalists.
The layout is attractive and easy to read. At times, the information content per paragraph is low. Some of the incidents are interesting or good cocktail party fodder, but they seem to shy away from presenting thought provoking material without accompanying commentary. In other words, I feel they don't trust the reader to think for him/herself.
The authors manifest their views everywhere but do not admit that they are opinions or discuss how the presentation is crafted around those opinions. As with any book, it is important to recognize the authors' goals and rationale. |

| Reviewer: Lydia Brambila, Rainy Day, Ireland |
| The instructor of this book lent me this book for a short while, and I read it 'til dawn. Unlike other social sciences textbooks, this book is written in engaging prose that both keeps the attention of the student without diluting the topic with unnecessary simplification. The authors add an interesting perspective on the principles of modern government and its relationship with the American public by speaking of recent events in context of the subject matter; they'll often mention modern figureheads like Kerry, Gingrich and Pelosi; although the 2008 election (or even the next news broadcast) could render the book dated a relatively short amount of time, its young lifespan gives the ultimate experience for any high school senior wanting a well-rounded look into the American government that's both interesting and informative. |

If you are taking a class in government and your teacher assigns this book, buy it, read it, study it, make an A.
The book is very informative and easy to read. |
