Editorial Reviews

Review

"The chapter on Congress is great, along with the chapters on the presidency and the courts."

"The AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS TODAY text is laid out logically, its content and pedagogy are clear and comprehensive, and its ancillary package is impressively expansive."

"I was introduced to AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS TODAY when it was adopted by the department for use during a two-year cycle. I simply fell in love with the depth, substance, and logic of how the material was presented. I like the way the chapters are organized and topics are addressed. Information is presented in a logical and easily understood manner. The photographs and illustrations help bring to life the topics being addressed and help students understand better why the material is relevant to them and their families."

"The book is one of the most thorough and comprehensive books I have seen in American Government. It is an excellent text."

"[Schmidt is] An evolved textbook that covers the core content in an approachable and easily digestible format--a good place to introduce students to both the dynamics and challenges of American-style democracy and governance." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The book is fine. Not amazing but not amazingly dull either. It's a text book, what did you expect?
