"American Government provides students with a critical assessment of commonly held beliefs about the structures and processes of American government by highlighting common myths and why these myths fail to capture the reality of policymaking in the United States."--Paul Nolette, Marquette University
"This text does an outstanding job of engaging students through salient and current political controversies. It uses perceptions of politics in order to entice readers into discovering the ways in which American politics really operates."--Ken Moffet, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville
"The authors use colorful and recent examples that will help students place current events into context. The book also helps them relate current events to political patterns in history by using examples from the past in almost each chapter."--Jillian Hartley, Arkansas Northeastern College
