Summary: Expensive and poor quality - not a good combination
Comment: Regardless of their orientation in politics, I think most people would agree that a dictionary should give objective definitions of ideas, not opinions of the author. This "dictionary" does not have an ounce of objectivity in it. The author frequently substitutes his opinion of an idea for the definition of it.

Also, given the price, I expected a bigger book. It's not very large, though admittedly it has had most of the terms I wanted to look up in it.

If I knew of a better dictionary for politics I would recommend it; since I don't, I simply recommend not wasting your money on this one.

Summary: Excellent book for students and political enthusiasts alike!
Comment: As a Political Science Freshman at the University of Florida, I have found this book to be invaluable to understanding the language of politics. Every political philosophy and ideology, major political theorists, political events, class distinctions, and history are covered in this book. It is extremely well organized and easily understandable.

A MUST HAVE FOR POLITICAL SCIENCE STUDENTS!
