"Ideology" does not disappoint in this regard. I found it a cogent explanation of the concept of ideology from the perspective of political science, but also reaching out to other disciplines. The strongest element for me was the historical description and contextualization of the macro and micro ideologies, within the frame of the evolution of "ideology" as an idea. The weakest area was the author's description of critical discourse analysis, which glossed over a lot. But it's hard to fault that in a book such as this - it just means that one must then look for a VSI on discourse...
For the busy professional or individual who doesn't have the luxury of going back to school but would like to explore some key intellectual movements in an academically rigorous, yet accessible, way, the VSI series is a great resource in general. For those who always wondered what politicians mean when they say "ideology" and would like to understand what liberalism versus conservatism is historically, this particular VSI book is a good start.
