About this listen

This invaluable, easy-to-understand guide to world politics and government offers an accessible introduction to more than 80 of the most important theories and big ideas of leaders and politicians throughout history.

The Politics Book makes government and politics easy to understand by explaining the big ideas simply. The key events in political history are outlined from the origins of political thinking by Confucius and Aristotle to modern-day activists such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. This audiobook breaks down their important concepts into bite-size chunks to make the subject accessible to students of politics and anyone with an interest in how government works.

Filled with thought-provoking quotes from great political thinkers such as Nietzsche, Malcolm X, Karl Marx, and Mao Zedong, The Politics Book, narrated by David Shaw-Parker, gives context to the world of government and power.

Critic reviews

"[A]n accessible introduction to centuries of political thought." (The Boston Globe)

"[The Big Ideas Simply Explained books] are beautifully illustrated with shadow-like cartoons that break down even the most difficult concepts so they are easier to grasp. These step-by-step diagrams are an incredibly clever learning device to include, especially for visual learners."(Examiner.com)

"Verdict: This book serves as a helpful introduction to the thoughts and theories that have influenced leaders and policy throughout world history. The bright, bold colors and illustrations help make the subject approachable. A good resource for middle and high school students who are interested in political science and history." – (Library Journal)

It's a good perspective, if you didn't know, it familiarized the reader with its historical evolution, and if you knew it reminds us of the situations.

I like it.

Many people are confused and don’t realize that the DK works simply give an overview of a variety of topics. Most of them feature at a minimum 100 different examples of each subject. It is really a great resource. After learning the basics, you are free to learn and branch off into whatever your interests are. In my opinion this specific work was very useful and mentioned most forms of government.
