This review is from: American Government and Politics Today: The Essentials 2008 (Paperback)
I had to purchase this book for school, but it's easy to read and doesn't seem to have any bias they way some textbooks do on topics such as government. The chapters are interesting and the authors give many viewpoints, not just one.

This review is from: American Government and Politics Today: The Essentials 2008 (Paperback)
Considering the cost of this text book (over $100 new), I was expecting to find extraordinary writing and insight. Instead, what I found was the same, mundane, senior-high-school-simplistic ordered writing as found in the American Pageant series.
This book, as so many history books do, offers some information, and offers only tidbits of knowledge. There's not enough details in any section to provide synthesis unless the reader has previously read numerous other books on American history, political science, etc.
1.0 out of 5 stars
