Publisher's Synopsis
For an introductory course in American Government.
Unique in its "contemporary readings" approach, this text provides relatively recent, very readable, and interesting analyses of contemporary U.S. government and politics issues in the form of one or two substantial essays on each key topic (e.g., presidency, congress, parties, media, etc.). It establishes the relevance of text material to the political world to which students can relate-making it the ideal supplement to any standard Introduction to American Government text.
