Pressestimmen
'Politics is simply the best introductory guide available for the subject. Andrew Heywood defines the theory and practice of politics in a rigorous, lively and highly accessible way. This book is indispensable for any student of politics and a "must" for introductory reading lists for politics tutors.' - Professor Jon Tonge, University of Liverpool, UK and Chair of the Political Studies Association of the UK 'In addition to Heywood's accessible style of writing, the book certainly benefits from many of the pedagogical features incorporated into the text. The sets of questions, outlining of key concepts, mini biographical profiles of specific philosophers and important people, focus boxes, diagrammatic representations and suggestions for further reading are all valuable, informative features and aide-memoires.' - Dr Jacqui Briggs, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Lincoln, UK 'I have enjoyed using Politics and find it a font of knowledge at my finger tips.' - Dr Rae Nicholl, University of South Pacific, Fiji 'Overall, Politics offers a thorough and solid overview of the essential material for an introduction to political science or comparative politics.' - Professor Joel D. Wolfe, University of Cincinnati, USA

Format:Taschenbuch
Diese Buch liefert eine gute Einführung in das Thema. Für Erstsemestrige der Politikwissenschaft und des Allgemeinen Staatsrechts sehr zu empfehlen. Das Buch besticht durch leserfreundliche Darstellung: Abbildungen, Schemas und ein Summary am Schluss jedes Kapitels machen das Buch zu einem wahren Glücksgriff. Sehr verständlich geschrieben!
Format:Taschenbuch
Heywood provides the reader with an overview of the various disciplines and aspects of politics. Thanks to the numerous explanations and a good glossary even those who are not studying politics will find it a very helpful and interesting introduction to the world of politics.

Good Primer with a Few Issues
6. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
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.

Thought-Provoking
21. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
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
5. November 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
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'.
