"Very effective [organization]. . . . Very satisfied [with scope of coverage]. . . . Very clear [writing]. . . . The previous editions have brought helpful substantive revisions that update the content to contemporary issues. I am looking forward to using a new edition in my courses in the future. . . . Very likely [to adopt], I firmly believe that this text is the best one available for Latino Politics courses. It is the most relevant to students and provides a great structure for a course. I would welcome the new update."
