Understand American politics from past to present
American Government: Roots and Reform helps students view the issues facing the Unites States today through an historical lens. By presenting coverage of the origins of American government in tandem with material on contemporary political structures and behaviors, the authors help students see how what happened in the past can be used to understand what measures should be taken in the future. In order to boost student engagement with key concepts, the 2014 Elections and Updates Edition incorporates coverage of contemporary issues that dominate today’s headlines, as well as the most up-to-date data.
