Since its initial publication in 1990, American Government has set the standard for American government texts with its distinctive historical and institutional approach. The Seventh Edition raises the bar yet again with the addition of new co-author Kenneth A. Shepsle and a thorough renewal of the text. New to the Seventh Edition are increased attention to the analytic narrative; emphasis on fundamental, underlying principles of politics; and a critical examination of institutional reform. With meaningful pedagogy throughout the text and an outstanding multimedia instructional package, American Government leads students to analyze the core principles of politics and to understand how these principles influence American political development. Available with chapters on policy (Full Version, Seventh Edition) and without (this edition, the Core Seventh Edition) .
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
I needed this book for a class at college. The book was no longer available through the school bookstore and I needed the book as soon as possible. I was shocked to find that the book came after just 4 days of ordering it, and I had it just in time to get 100 on a reading assignment. Fantastic used book

The book.. I'm using it for college, so it's not like I'm reading this for fun. I wouldn't buy it under reading for pleasure purposes... but for the purposes of education it is a great buy.
If your expecting a book with many pictures, this is not the book for you. But it gives good details on changes since our country began. At the begining of each chapter is a time line on what the chapter is about. I would recommend this book.
