Great book

Hands down my favorite book on political science and theory. This was a class text and one of the few I didn't sell back because I keep referring to it.

Excellent survey

This book offers a progressive perpsective on "traditions" in political thought. It's extremely well written, clear, and concise. Highly recommended for students and general readers.

Cogent summary of necessary political action in 2000.

This is a book is a wonderful and positive exposition on the ideas and actions that have created fundamental and profound changes in modernity--and can continue to do so, given the right education and application of these ideas. I read it over the summer in four hours straight...something I have not done in a long time with any book, for it was both fascinating and illuminating in terms of an active modern politics today. I would recommend it strongly to students and practioners of politics, indeed everyone, for as Plato once said:'The disadvantage of not participating in politics is consenting to be ruled by your inferiors.'In short, Bronner has laid out some important paradigms that we must engage in if we, as world citizens, are to build a sustainable future.
