Obtaining your copy
 
Palgrave Macmillan has established high prices for the book, because its distribution plan is based primarily on institutional rather than individual purchases.  Therefore, the most economical way to obtain the book is through your college, university, or public library.
 
If your library has an institutional subscription to the Palgrave Politics package, you can download the eBook without charge, and you can order a printed copy (“MyCopy”) for $24.99.  The publishers describe “MyCopy” as “a unique service that allows library patrons from subscribing institutions to order a personal, print-on-demand soft cover edition of the eBook directly from SpringerLink.” 
 
If your library does not have a subscription to the Politics package, please ask the acquisitions librarian to purchase it.  Your librarian can obtain information at https://www.springernature.com/de/librarians/contact-us.
 
If you want to download the eBook or purchase a hardcover book as an individual, you can do so here.
Or you can purchase a hardcover or Kindle edition of the book as an individual on Amazon here:

Note to the Reader:  In addition to distributing the entire book in digital and printed forms, the publishers also distribute each chapter separately in a digital form.  This is why the bibliographical references are unique to each chapter, and there is no comprehensive bibliography for the entire book.
 
 
Note to readers of the digital (PDF) book (eBook):  Reading the book in digital form is less aesthetically pleasing, and it takes from the reader the important practice of writing notes and reflections in the margins (although the digital version does have highlighting and adding a note mechanisms).  However, the digital version has the advantage that it enables rapid movement in the book.  For example, from the Table of Contents, you can go directly to the desired chapter; and from the index, you can go directly to the appropriate page, and immediately return to the index.  In addition, you can search for key words and specific page numbers.  Note, however, that the page numbers are nine pages off, so that if you indicate page 181, you will arrive to page 172.  This is because the page numbering in the book begins after the “front matter” (title page, Table of Contents, and Preface), whereas the PDF includes the front matter in its interpretation of the page number.  Also, there are periodic references in the text to specific chapters where further information on a given theme can be found.  If you click on the links to the chapter number, you will be taken to an internet page where you can buy the specific chapter, rather than to the beginning of the chapter in the PDF book.  The publishers inform me that they cannot adjust these links, developed for readers of particular chapters, in the full PDF book.  ​
