Contemporary American Society David E. Nye 5. izdevums

""In its fifth revised edition, David Nye's splendid introduction to American society has become even better. Particularly the part dealing with politics, foreign and domestic, has been significantly strengthened. Contemporary American Society is comprehensive, yet gracefully written. It is both exciting and easy to use.""

""The famous sociologist and political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset once stated that he who only knows one country knows no country. This illuminates why Professor David Nye, an American residing in Denmark, knows the United States so well. Contemporary American Society is an eloquent and insightful portrayal of the United States today and a must-read for any European who wishes to understand the myriad complexities of this mighty nation. Nye's work is, without question, the best introduction to America's multifaceted political system, its rich history and diverse culture.""
