Easily the best text book I have ever read. A great introduction to key thinkers and models. It has clear guidance about how to apply the models and balanced analyses of each framework. The books is easy to read due to the wonderful structure of writing. It is clear that Blomberg cares about these topics and has spent the time to craft this text book to such a high quality. Blomberg has worked in many philosophical and political topics into these explanations in such a natural way. Definitely a book that makes me want to read more about the covered topics and go beyond the contents of the book.
