Not well regarded by my students
|
|
This was the first year that I used this book to give to my A2 Government & Politics students. The verdict was not good. The feedback that they gave me was that the book was overly skimpy in its treatment of US politics, providing only the bare bones of the constitutional and institutional set-ups and little more. On this basis I'll be trying something different next year.

It got me through A-levels
|
A book which maintains that fine balance between telling you enough deatiled information to pass the exam while not overwhelming you.
While not written for any particular exam board I found it particuarly useful for AQA (Politics of the USA) and the comparative UK/US politics unit with chapters closely following that specification.
Like any textbok it dates as soon as it is published so it must of course be supplemented with more recent reading but for anyone doing A2 Goverment and Politics I think it is an essential purchase.
