Purchase options and add-ons

We just experienced a historic election--driven more by common political myths and less by its realities--that will impact our political and personal lives for years to come. Rather than dismissing those myths as outright falsehoods, American Government: Myths and Realities, 2016 Election Edition, encourages students to confront their preconceived notions in order to think critically about government and politics. Clearly and distinctively woven into each chapter, the myths-and-realities theme provides a pedagogical framework that engages students with interesting questions while effectively covering the core concepts of American government. Priced at only $79.95, this affordable best seller provides students with definitive coverage of American government while laying out the foundation for today's generation to have a more sophisticated appreciation for our complex, yet exciting, system of governance.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The primary strengths of this text are the thoroughness, imagination, good cases, good discussions, and good organization. I am impressed with the text in general and found it a good read."
--Daniel Hummel, Idaho State University

"This text does a great job of challenging myths that lead to a lack of efficacy in the American public. It brings in a healthy mix of political science and other material that introductory students can easily relate to. I think it is much better than many books that are more expensive."
--Matthew Placek, University of South Carolina Upstate

"This is a good, competitive text. It offers a nice, overarching theme that can be used to frame the course and engage students."
--Matthew Eshbaugh-Sosa, University of North Texas

Book Description

Uses the myths of American Government to introduce students to its realities

Like I said in the title it’s a good textbook but what wasn’t cool was the fact that the back cover came almost ripped in half.
