Editorial Reviews

Review
"LONE STAR POLITICS compares favorably to other texts in terms of both the clarity of the writing style and the comprehensiveness of the content regarding the structures and process of Texas government. Few books cover the basic structures of government in such a comprehensive and straightforward way. Its pedagogy (particularly the Texas Mosaics and the Guest Essays) help connect the abstract discussion of the structure of Texas government to the actual workings of politics. When this book tells the history of some aspect of Texas politics, the historical details are as interesting and as balanced as any text I have seen on the subject."

"The strengths of the book include 1) humor--especially in opening quotations and elsewhere--, 2) easy and informative reading style, 3) vignettes of interest to the students, and 4) partial reproductions of state and federal constitutions, which are not found in other texts." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
LONE STAR POLITICS offers a concise, balanced and pragmatic view of Texas government that students will find both accessible and informative. Innovative pedagogical features reinforce the importance of diversity in Texas politics and show how the state's unique history has shaped its modern-day institutions. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Texas Gov't Book!, March 16, 2008
This is probably one of the few books that i personally like. It really has an in depth explanation of pretty much anything and everything that went on, government wise, in Texas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Politics are boring but this book is easy, June 26, 2008
By amanda143 "amanda143" (Fort Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
My teacher wrote this book, so I have to say that he knows his stuff. He wrote the book so that it was easy to understand. I only gave it four stars because I think politics are boring. :D
