General Studies Paper 1 for Civil Services Preliminary Examination 2016  (English, Paperback, Thorpe Showick)

Have read its economics portion and that was very technical and not for the beginners but its political section was good and easy to understand. History section is very neatly compiled and geography is also nicely done into 3 sections. General knowledge portion has been kept simple and unnecessary knowledge is not given any place. overall nice one.

This book contains tremendous information and is,of course,very useful for CSAT Paper-I.Many points given in this book will not be found any other book of this type.The book is equipped with a very large number of practice problems,around 10000,and that also chapterwise.In my opinion,the most salient feature of this book is illustration-they have provided a rather large number of illustrative diagrams throughout the book,especially in the volume of geography and science;and even in history!

Systematic and elaborate book. Very helpful for independent students.
