Title: So bad you wonder what happened
Review: When I arrived at the university where I am currently teaching, this book had already been selected as the textbook for my Introduction to Political Science classes. I was so embarrassed by the book that I told my students not to bother purchasing it. Problems included:-simplistic "dumbed down" conversational writing style with many ungrammatical sentences.-errors in formatting and type-style; one famous Greek philosopher was listed as having a life span of over 3,000 years.-less than 1/4 of the book covers the areas of comparative politics and international relations.The author is listed as being on the faculty of West Virginia U., but he is not mentioned on WVU's website, so I presume he is now somewhere else. My email to the publisher's customer comments department about the quality of this book did not get a response.
Is the review positive or negative?
