Product Description

Review
"It is always a pleasure to open it and I know of no more helpful guide to the mysteries of
British politics." - Jørgen Sevaldsen, University of Copenhagen

'It is multi-authored and is able therefore to cover a  wider range of topics - social, economic and European policy.'

'...make generous use of diagrams, tables, charts and boxed inserts. These enliven the text, facilitate the assimilation of information and, by pithy and provocative comment, help badger the sleepy mind.  Equally welcome... accompanying websites with useful lists of web-based resources.  For a computer-savvy generation this is becoming an indispensable aid.'

The Times Higher, November 2004

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm an A Level politics student and this book is amazing!!!!, 13 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Politics UK, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for the A level Politics student, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Politics UK, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
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).

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful A-level politics textbook., 9 Sep 2001
This review is from: Politics UK, 4th Ed. (Paperback)
As a former A-level politics student I have had some experience with this book - especially with the older edition. In the main it is a useful textbook but isn't as accessible or clearly written as the excellent British Politics in Focus text. This said it is arguably more in-depth.

Don't forget, however, that whilst you can get a fair grade if you just study from this textbook, your general political knowledge will be thin (as will your essays) so wider reading is more-or-less essential if you want that A!

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!
