I believe that the content is exceptional. . . . I would say the greatest strengths of [GOVT] are the fascinating debate and discussion questions and articles throughout the text. In addition, the writing style is very engaging. Finally the writing level is comprehensible to the average community college student, especially with the excellent use of graphs and charts throughout the text., I cannot deny the fact that students did not read [my previous textbook] and are reading GOVT. The students have said they prefer this style of text.... [T]hey seem to engage with the style of GOVT better than other texts.... The Learning Outcomes are a very effective tool, and are especially useful in how they highlight the beginning of the chapter, the beginning of each section of the chapter and then tie it all together with the review cards at the end of the text. The Learning Outcomes easily relate to the Student Learning Outcomes on the course syllabus, bridging the course materials to the course documents., Part I: THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR AMERICAN SYSTEM.1. America in the 21st Century.2. The Constitution.3. Federalism.Part II: OUR LIBERTIES AND RIGHTS.4. Civil Liberties.5. Civil Rights.Part III: THE POLITICS OF DEMOCRACY.6. Interest Groups.7.

The Learning Outcomes easily relate to the Student Learning Outcomes on the course syllabus, bridging the course materials to the course documents., It is amazing that in spite of its relative brevity, that it remains a fully comprehensive text. I don't think any key points in the five chapters I reviewed are missed. I learned a lot of new and interesting information by reading this book., I have used other textbooks and am currently using GOVT because of its strengths and courage to address more controversial topics without trying to politicize anything--makes for more interesting reading., I believe that the content is exceptional....
