Good book, but came damaged.
I bought this book to complete my collection of "The book of". No problems with the content of the book, but as seen in the pictures, it came damaged -- what was disappointing when I removed the plastic protection it came in, opened it and its cover suddenly fell aside... I took some time to notice it after receiving the pack for I was waiting all of the books to come at once before adding them to my private library. Now I'm waiting for an answer from Amazon to solve this, for I refuse to keep the product in this state. -------- Comprei esse livro para completar minha coleção "The book of". Sem problemas com o conteúdo do livro, mas como pode ser visto nas fotos, ele veio danificado -- o que foi decepcionante quando eu removi a proteção plástica na qual o mesmo veio, daí o abri e a capa caiu para um lado... Eu levei algum tempo para perceber isso porque esperei todos os livros chegarem antes de colocá-los em minha biblioteca particular. Agora estou esperando por uma resposta da Amazon para resolver isso, porque eu me recuso a ficar com o produto nesse estado.

Concise and easy to understand
I give this book 5 stars, for being exactly as I hoped for. A brief introduction on the most basic and fundamental subjects in politics. It has achieved its aspirations, by explaining politics in a simple to understand language. Has given enough information in order to understand the key points, but not too much that I would feel like I am wasting my time reading it.
