American Government: Myths and Realities, 2016 Election Edition

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.

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. 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.
