Reception In a positive review, the Library Journals Susanne Caro said that the book offers "a helpful introduction" to the concepts and philosophies that have shaped global rulers over time. She liked how the "bright, bold colors and illustrations" contribute to a more accessible presentation of the topic. Jan Gardner of The Boston Globe had a similar view, stating that the work is "an accessible introduction to centuries of political thought". She observed, however, that "the political views of the editors become apparent from time to time". Fairbanks Daily News-Miners library columnist, Greg Hill, found the survey of political history to be "distilled and simplified" though praised it for being "easily digestible".
