This introductory text to political science takes a unique approach to the study of United States government and politics: the book's primary focus centers on a discussion of the current events that most college students will be aware of. The second edition builds on the original edition's emphasis on making political processes not only describable, but also explainable and predictable. Chapters are smartly organized and include pleasing color photos, graphs, and highlighted text boxes. Online web content is available through the accompanying website, and an e-book version is available at a reduced price. Students and professors looking for a novel approach to the study of political science will appreciate this text's focus on current events and real-life applications.
