Great Textbook

Jane Dawson is a wonderful Professor and also writer. She explains issues is a very clear manner and at the same time makes it interesting to read. She has personal experience in the Former USSR and she also was able to get access to information that normally isn't released. This book was one of my texts in an environmental class. It was the best class and the book open up a new area of Poli. Sci. and the Environment that isn't expolored much. It's a must have book.
