Wonderful break down of political philosophy

I have had the privilege to have Dr. Judith Best as a professor and this book helped me a LOT in political theory class. Dr. Best uses "our" (student) language to explain the complex philisophies of those like Aristotle and Marx, among others. Wonderful way to get the student INTERESTED in the material. But then again, that is Dr. Best's style!!!
