Product Description
Review
"This book is the best available for students who have to cover a blend of both government and politics in their degree studies. It is invaluable as an introductory text and contains material which will be of continued use in the second and third years. It has also been brought right up to date and thus reflects the most recent contemporary debates and issues."
Dr. Richard Grayson, Head of Politics, Goldsmiths College, University of London

I am studying Government and politics A Level and I found this book the most useful text book around. This is mainly because it is the most recent so it has the best content for this subject and it covers all the topic areas really well. It's not cheap but it's worth it if it puts you up a grade or two and this one really could.

I am a Law degree student and frequently use this book. It very useful in the study of Public law. The book comes with a companian internet site with resources, links and up dates.
The book also acts as a good introduction to the study of politics. It includes up to date references and examples (well, to 2000).

This book has really helped me during my AS level politics, thought truely i believe it is for older politics students, more helpful and easier to understand if you are doing a degree in the topic. But i have found it very helpful but it is a big book and hard to skim read to get the quick information that you need for essay writing or note taking. You have to know about politics before you read this book.The political images and cartoons are quite funny, it adds a bit nof humour to the long paragraphs of writing. One final thing is that this book is up to date and mentions recent events for great examples.

Poor, Vague and wish washy
i have found this book to be very poor. it fails to focus in on what is required. British Politics in Focus, Roy Bentley is the best!
