More About the Author
Product Description
Review
'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:Paperback
This book was compulsive reading as an introduction to my university course. It is very much a text book, with a layout suited for learning. Topics and areas are well divided and well covered, giving a learner a clear understanding of structures, areas and various aspects of politics. I strongly recommend it to anyone learning about the machinery and debates of politics. It will provide a very firm base from which to further develop your studies.

Format:Paperback
This book is invaluable for anyone taking a politics course at university. It covers a broad range of themes with balance and clarity. Helpful tables make it easier to digest the information, and its references for further reading make it indispensable when it comes to writing essays.

Another solid piece by heywood - which is basically the same as 3rd ed
Despite this now being 'out of date', so far as I can tell from actually having both books, this edition looks almost identical to the 3rd edition one, which is always nice... Read more

Good help at uni
I used this book as part of my first year studies at University for my politics class and it was really easy to use, well set-out etc and not too complicated.
