ANALYZING POLITICS is a comprehensive examination of the field of political science. Taking a comparative approach, it examines a variety of subfields of political science, including methods, political theory, comparative politics, international relations, and U.S. politics. Exhaustive in its coverage of the material, ANALYZING POLITICS employs an extensive collection of boxes, tables, charts, graphs, photos, and cartoons to hold the reader's attention.
Grigsby seems to have written this book with the beginning reader of political literature in mind. It is a bit over simplified, but I suppose there has to be a place to start. If you're just getting your toe into politics, this is probably a good book to start with.
If you're looking to obtain a base-level knowledge of political theory, comparative politics, international relations or domestic affairs, this book is for you. Grigsby's diction provides for an easy read that still skillfully covers a wide range of subjects.
Good introductory book on the subject. Brief but Good! I wish the author had delved a bit more deeper though. Nevertheless this is a good starting point for students of this subject.
