This book may look small but the content is plenty! ... it's helped me understand the language of politics giving you definitions on every page, helped me to grasp certain examples using simple to understand diagrams and a lot more. I can honestly say that this book and the unit two one are THE best revision guides and at a great price too! * Amazon reviews * Excellent format and content. Liked this book a lot and so did my students, good brief summaries of main issues, good examples and nice section reviewing model and exemplar answers. Ordering the Unit 2 version too now. May be better used as a supplement/cross source alongside the main textbook by McNaughton, which is also very good, but between these two books and a regular diet of newspapers and Andrew Marr you should be lacking in very little. * Amazon reviews *
