review: Governance: Power, Politics, and Participation
"This series
provides wide-ranging information on worldwide political and governmental
systems from early societies through the early 21st century. ... Political
theories are briefly described, making them understandable for most students.
Sidebars, sub-topic headings, larger fonts, clear, and colorful photos and
illustrations add to each title's ease of use. Reproductions of key primary
source documents enhance The U.S.
Constitution and Constitutional Law. The series is a useful and accessible
resource for those teachers and students needing background
information and a general overview of political thinking and processes.
Recommended."
