A Wonderful Introduction to Depth in Political Science

Nancy Sue Love demonstrates that she is a politial scientist committed to rational understanding and education. This is an illuminating passage through ideology that will be of great use to students and teachers seeking a text that is simultaneously sweeping in its vision, yet a book that draws on the key representatives of ideological development. This is a book my students, who are teachers themselves, choose to keep.
