American Government
A textbook for a first course that Lowi (Cornell U.) and Ginsburg (Johns Hopkins U.) have revised almost yearly since the first edition in 1990. Recognizing the theater inherent in politics, they include many narratives in which characters deal with the facts of complex situations they find themselves in. The broad sections cover the historical foundations, institutions, politics, and governance. A study guide is available on the Web. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
